Named after the Great Liberator Chuck Norris, the CNMBT lives up to its name. Capable of easily holding its own in a modern battle field the CNMBT is well worth the price.

It is a highly advanced MBT, the main weapon is made from high-strength electro-slag refining steel with a chromium alloy lining and is insulated by a thermal sleeve. It is fitted with a muzzle reference system, fume extraction and is gyro-stabilized. It can fire a wide range of ammunition such as HESH, APFSDS, and most other types of western 105mm ammunition.

It has a digital fire control computer made by Norris Computing INC, it contains 4 32-bit processors with MIL STD1553B databus and has capacity for additional systems, for example a Battlefield Information Control System. The commander has a Norris Optics Co CHOP-590-20 gyro-stabilized sight with laser range finder. Elevation range is +40 to -35.

The commander's station is equipped with 10 periscopes for 360 vision. The Thermal Observation and Gunnery Sight II (TOGS II), from Norris Military Industries (NMI), provides night vision. The thermal image is displayed on both the gunner's and commander's sights and monitors. The gunner has a stabilized Primary Sight using a laser range finder with a range of 100 m to 9999m. The CNMBT is expected to stay in service until the late 2020s.
