The M1A1 abrams is an improvement of the IPM1, itself a improvement over the original M1 the new M1A1 has a rear bustle rack for improved stowage of
personal gear and equipment, the turret has been lengthened and the rear blowout panels improved, but the largest improvements are the armor and armament, it now sports a modern 120mm smoothbore M256A1 gun

The gunner rides in the turret with the main armament: a
stabilized 120 mm L/44 M256A1 gun with 40 stowed rounds, The loader has easy access to them in the back of the turret behind blast doors that open and then automatically close.

A M240 (M240E1 for a USMC M1) machine gun (see FN MAG, p. 134-135)
with 11400 rounds is mounted coaxially, and two sixshot smoke dischargers faces the turret front.
