main gun
Tank's biggest cannon
The main gun is a vehicle's primary weapon, typically the largest-caliber armament on a tank, warship, or other military platform.
On a tank, it's the cannon in the turret; on a battleship, the heaviest guns distinguish from secondary batteries.
In gaming, main gun often refers to a spacecraft's or mech's most powerful weapon: Save the main gun for the boss fight.
