The ammunition developed by GIAT for the CN-120-26 main gun includes three live ammunition, two training live ammunition for firing, and two training dud ammunition for loading.

The live ammunition is 120APFSDSF1A wing-stabilized shelling armor-piercing projectile (muzzle velocity 1790m/s, effective range 4000m, using tungsten-manganese alloy core, error radius less than 500px when flying 3000m), 120HEAT-MPF1 high-explosive armor-piercing projectile (using conical chemical energy charge) Warhead, muzzle velocity 1100m/s, effective range 3000m, error radius less than 625px when flying 2000m) and 120HEF1 high-explosive grenade (muzzle velocity 1000m/s, effective range over 4000m, error radius less than 875px when flying 2000m, mainly used for against soft or semi-rigid targets such as people, buildings, light vehicles, etc.).

These shells all use semi-combustible propellant pods, and their primers are suitable for electric firing mechanisms. After firing, only a bottom plate is left and is discharged into the collection bag under the breech ring, which does not affect the operation of the occupants in the car.

As for the two training live ammunitions for shooting, they are 120APFSDS-TP-T wing stable shelling armor-piercing practice rounds (the bore wear is lighter than live ammunition) and 120HEAT-TP-T high-explosive armor-piercing practice rounds.

The two training duds for loading are 120APFSDSF1inert and 120HEATF1inert. Although the Leclerc main battle tank uses a 120mm main gun, its original design also reserved space for a 140mm main gun for future performance improvement.

The commander of the Leclerc main battle tank has a SFIM (now SAGEM) HL-70 full perimeter independent gyroscopic sight, located on the left side above the turret, integrated with a day/night optical sight and a two-dimensional stabilizer;

Among them, the daytime collimator has two magnifications of 2.5 and 10 times, which can find the target at a distance of 4000m and complete the confirmation at 2500, while the magnification of the starlight night vision device is 2.5 times;

In addition, the HL-70 can also replace the starlight night vision with an infrared thermal imager (starting with the Leclerc Block2+), and retains the ability to add a laser rangefinder.

The gunner of the Leclerc main battle tank has a SFIMHL-60SAVAN20 gunner's sight, which is installed in front of the turret on the right side of the main gun, and integrates an infrared thermal imager with a magnification of 3.3 times. Optical collimator, a TV camera with a magnification of 10, Avimo's HL-58 neodymium-yttrium garnet (Nd-YAG) laser rangefinder (effective distance 10000m, error within plus or minus 5m) and two-dimensional stabilizer, with Excellent all-weather observation capability and accuracy, protected by a split armor cover when not in use.

The HL-60 has two backup modes: aperture imaging and emergency mirror adjustment. Aperture imaging is to adjust the optical lens to be coaxial with the centerline of the main gun, and rely on the inner scale of the optical mirror to estimate the aiming point, so the Leclerc main battle tank There is no other coaxial sight for the main gun.

There are seven periscopes on the top of the commander's observation tower, providing a 300-degree field of view, and the gunner's hatch also has three periscopes to the right.

The firing control system of the Leclerc main battle tank is sophisticated and complex. It is based on three digital computers (with a total of 30 processors) and has a high degree of automation. Sensors, ballistic computer and all stabilization systems (including observer and main gun).
