The Autocannon is a direct-fire ballistic weapon, firing HEAP (High-Explosive Armor-Piercing) rounds at targets either singly or in bursts. Different manufacturers and models of autocannons have different calibers (25mm-203mm) and rates of fire. Due to this, autocannons are grouped into generic "classes" of autocannons with common damage ratings. For example, the Crusher Super Heavy Cannon is a 150mm weapon that fires ten shells per "shot", while the Chemjet Gun is a 185mm weapon firing more slowly, but both are classified as Autocannon/20s. Generally speaking, Autocannon/2s have an extremely long range, though they have a very low damage potential, and the longest-ranged weapon in the 3025-era (previously "Level 1") play.
