==Description==
 
==Description==
The '''Ultra AC/10''' (also '''UAC/10''') was the second largest of the [[Ultra autocannon]]s. First introduced into the [[Inner Sphere]] by the [[Clans]], [[Free Worlds League]] scientists were the first to reverse engineer the weapon and make it viable for mass-production, though the knowledge quickly spread to the other [[Successor States]]. The weapon itself was capable of firing two shots per turn, like all Ultra autocannons, resulting in doubled heat and—potentially—damage.

The '''Ultra AC/10''' is the second largest of the ultra-class autocannon. First introduced into the [[Inner Sphere]] by the [[Clans]], [[Free Worlds League]] scientists were the first to retro-engineer the weapon and make it viable for mass-production, though the knowledge quickly spread to the other [[Successor States]]. The weapon itself is capable of firing two shots per turn, like all Ultra autocannon, resulting in doubled heat and, potentially, damage.

==Manufacturing==
In the years between the [[Second Exodus]] and the beginning of [[Operation KLONDIKE]], the nascent [[Clan]]s began development of what would become the Ultra AC/10. Experimental prototype versions of this new weapon were used during Operation KLONDIKE in small quantities. The Clan prototype Ultra AC/10 available during this period had identical stats to the Inner Sphere Ultra AC/10, though the latter required additional mounting space and jammed more frequently.<ref name="H:OKp156">''Historical: Operation KLONDIKE'', pp. 156–157: "Prototype Clan Systems"</ref>
