−	Introduced in [[2640]] by the [[Terran Hegemony]],<ref name=TMp290/> the '''Ultra AC/5''' (also '''UAC/5''') was an [[Ultra Autocannon|upgraded version]] of the standard [[autocannon/5]]. Utilizing a different loading mechanism, the Ultra autocannons were capable of maintaining a substantially increased rate of fire over traditional or [[LB-X autocannon]]s, at the cost of higher heat and the risk of jamming. Of course, the rapid-fire autocannons required a much larger supply of ammunition to maintain their rate of fire. This high dependence on ammunition limited the effectiveness of the weapon. Being of a lower caliber, the Ultra autocannon/5 had an increased range, at the cost of reduced damage over higher-caliber versions.	+	Introduced in [[2640]] by the [[Terran Hegemony]]<ref>''TechManual'', p. 208</ref>.
