I am curious what '307'means. Is it the indicator of the PLA unit? or just a serial number from the factory?

Wonder what is above the barrel. Looks like sort of a measurement device.

It is a laser devise for simulating projectile fired from the tank during exercise. if an "enemy" tank is hit by the laser, it will emit colour smoke to indicate that it has been damaged or destroyed.

Thanks! Sounds like an execrise in which soldiers tend to cheat that they weren't "hit" as if they did not recieve the signal properly
