When most people think of a tank, they immediately think of a long-barreled cannon on a rotating turret at the top of the tank, with the Mkiv tank this was clearly not the case. In the front of the cabin there was a Lewis Gun (machine gun) provided, left and right the sponsons as well, depending on whether the tank was female or male. The male had a 6-pounder gun on the side, which they already had on the battleships at the time, the barrels were shortened for the tanks.
