−	Developed in [[3062]] by the [[Federated Commonwealth]], the '''Rotary Autocannon/2''' is based only loosely on the [[Autocannon/2]]. While it has the same bore, it is capable of firing up to six times as many rounds as its standard cousin, allowing it to deal three times the damage of even an [[Ultra AC/2]] (while the Inner Sphere variants suffer from a minor drop to effective range). The weapon may fire up to six times in a turn, with each additional shot giving the potential for increased damage. At the same time, each extra shot increases the amount of heat the autocannon builds and increases the chance for a jam. Like Ultra autocannons, Rotary autocannons are unable to make use of [[:Category:Special Munitions|special munitions]].<ref name="TMp207+"/>	+	Developed in [[3062]] by the [[Federated Commonwealth]], the '''Rotary Autocannon/2''' is based only loosely on the [[Autocannon/2]].
