Main article: Royal Ordnance L7A1 (105 mm) On the other hand, there is no ammunition stored above the turret ring turret penetrations are unlikely to cause an ammunition explosion unless the shells have explosive fillers. This means that any round that successfully penetrates the Centurion's hull will likely cause an ammunition explosion. There are many rounds of ammunition scattered throughout the Centurion's hull, and a large ammo rack is also situated next to the driver, on the left side of the tank. The Mk 10's turret is identical to that on the Mk 3 except for the thicker gun mantlet the mantlet can protect against carelessly aimed shots, but the flat turret face is vulnerable. However, it will not protect against most APDS or HEAT rounds that may be encountered in up-tiers. This reliably protects the glacis from penetration by commonly encountered full-bore AP rounds such as those fired by the 8.8 cm KwK43 L/71 or the 100 mm D-10. The Centurion Mk 10 has an additional upper front glacis plate compared to the preceding Mk 3.
