Description
The Ultra AC/2 (also UAC/2) was the smallest bore autocannon of the 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 Clans 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 jame.[3]
Models
The Ultra AC/2 was manufactured on the following planets in the Inner Sphere:
Mydron Model D-rf
The Model D-rf fired 20mm hyper-velocity depleted uranium-tipped shells[4]
