−	The '''autocannon/5''' was a direct-fire ballistic weapon, firing HEAP (''H''igh-''E''xplosive ''A''rmor-''P''iercing) rounds at targets either singly or in bursts.	+	The '''Autocannon''' is a direct-fire ballistic weapon, firing HEAP (''H''igh-''E''xplosive ''A''rmor-''P''iercing) rounds at targets either singly or in bursts.
−	Different manufacturers and models of autocannons had different calibers (25 mm-203 mm) and rates of fire. Due to this, autocannons were grouped into generic "classes" of similar damage ratings, with autocannon/5s usually having a long range and a small to moderate damage level.	+	Different manufacturers and models of autocannons have different calibers (25mm-203mm) and rates of fire. Due to this, autocannons are grouped into generic "classes" of autocannons with common damage ratings, with '''Autocannon/5'''s usually having a long range with a small to moderate damage level.
−	An autocannon/5 could use [[:Category:Special_Munitions|special munitions]] to increase its effectiveness.	+	An example of the rating system: the Crusher Super Heavy Cannon is a 150mm weapon firing ten shells per "shot", while the Chemjet Gun is a 185mm weapon firing much slower, but causing higher damage. Despite their differences, both are classified as [[Autocannon/20|Autocannon/20s]] due to their damage output.
−	==History==	+	An Autocannon/5 can use [[:Category:Special_Munitions|special munitions]] to increase its effectiveness.
−	Designed for the [[Terran Alliance]], the prototype version of this cannon was among the first autocannons ever made. It first appeared in [[2240]]<ref>''Interstellar Operations'', p. 217: "Additional Alternate Era Weapons and Equipment Table"</ref> and was designed to improve the Alliance's military arsenal against newer armor introduced around the same time.<ref name="TMp207+"/> Examples of the prototype AC/5's use was on the [[Saturn (DropShuttle class)|''Saturn''-class patrol ship]] in [[2243]].<ref>''Experimental Technical Readout: Primitives, Volume 2'', pp. 14, 31: "Saturn Patrol Ship"</ref>	+

Different manufacturers and models of autocannons have different calibers (25mm-203mm) and rates of fire. Due to this, autocannons are grouped into generic "classes" of autocannons with common damage ratings, with '''Autocannon/5'''s usually having a long range with a small to moderate damage level. An example of the rating system: the Crusher Super Heavy Cannon is a 150mm weapon firing ten shells per "shot", while the Chemjet Gun is a 185mm weapon firing much slower, but causing higher damage. Despite their differences, both are classified as [[Autocannon/20|Autocannon/20s]] due to their damage output. An Autocannon/5 can use [[:Category:Special_Munitions|special munitions]] to increase its effectiveness. == History == Designed for the [[Terran Alliance]], the prototype version of this cannon was among first autocannons ever made. It first appeared in [[2240]]<ref>''Interstellar Operations'', p. 217 Additional Alternate Era Weapons and Equipment - "Prototype AC/5 introduction year noted in Table."</ref> and was designed to improve the Alliance's military arsenal cope with newer armor being introduced during the time.<ref name="TMp207+"/> Examples of the Prototype AC/5 being used was on the [[Saturn (DropShip)|''Saturn''-Class Patrol Ship]] in [[2243]].<ref>''Experimental Technical Readout: Primitives, Volume 2'', pp. 14 & 31 "Saturn Patrol Ship"</ref> ==Models== ===Arcturan Arms Longarm Series=== {|class="wikitable" style="background: #gray;
