−	The '''Ultra AC/20''' (also '''UAC/20''') was the largest bore [[Ultra autocannon]]. Like all Ultra autocannons, it was capable of twice the rate of fire of a standard autocannon, doubling its heat output and—potentially—its damage. Only the [[Clan]] [[HAG 40]] could match the sheer damage output of the Ultra AC/20. The only weapons capable of delivering more damage to one location were the [[heavy Gauss rifle]] and the experimental [[improved heavy Gauss rifle]].	+	The '''Ultra AC/20''' is the largest bore [[Ultra Autocannon]]. Like all Ultra autocannons, it is capable of twice the rate of fire of a standard autocannon, doubling its heat output and, potentially, its damage. Only the brand new [[Clan]] [[HAG 40]] can match the sheer damage output of the Ultra AC/20, though even that cannot place 20 points of damage squarely in a single target area. The only weapons that are capable of delivering more damage to one location are the [[Heavy Gauss Rifle]] and the experimental [[Improved Heavy Gauss]].
