Different manufacturers and models of autocannons had different calibers (25 mm-203 mm) and rates of fire. Due to this, autocannons were grouped into generic "classes" of similar damage ratings, with autocannon/5s usually having a long range and a small to moderate damage level. An autocannon/5 could use [[:Category:Special_Munitions|special munitions]] to increase its effectiveness. == History == Designed for the [[Terran Alliance]], the prototype version of this cannon was among the first autocannons ever made.
