Description[edit]

The light autocannon was prototyped in the late 3050s, and introduced in 3068 by the Federated Suns, seeing full-scale production only after the Word of Blake Jihad destroyed the New Avalon Institute of Science. The light AC/5 was, as its name implies, a smaller, lighter version of the autocannon/5. While it did not have the range of its larger cousin, it retained the ability to use the same special munitions.[1]
