Description
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.
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/20. Experimental prototype versions of this new weapon were used during Operation KLONDIKE in small quantities. The Clan prototype Ultra AC/20 available during this period had identical stats to the Inner Sphere Ultra AC/20 required additional mounting space and was more prone to jamming.[3]
