==Description==
 
==Description==
The '''Ultra AC/2''' (also '''UAC/2''') was the smallest bore autocannon of the [[Ultra autocannon|Ultra series]]. Ultra autocannon were capable of firing twice in a turn, doubling heat and—potentially—damage. Since it was the smallest, the Ultra AC/2 also had the longest range and most ammo per ton of any Ultra autocannon; however, it also dealt the least amount of damage.

== Variants ==
 
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/2. Experimental prototype versions of this new weapon were used during Operation KLONDIKE in small quantities. The Clan prototype Ultra AC/2 available during this period had identical stats in comparison to the Inner Sphere Ultra AC/2, though the latter took up additional mounting space and was more prone to jam.<ref name="H:OKp156">''Historical: Operation Klondike'', pp. 156–157: "Prototype Clan Systems"</ref>
