==Description==
The '''Hyper-Velocity Autocannon (HVAC)''' family of weapons is based on the [[Autocannon]]. While they have the same damage classes, they're capable of firing much further. However, in order to obtain the increased ballistic range, the hyper-velocity ammo is larger and uses a unique type of propellant, reducing the number of shots per ton of ammo along with a couple other drawbacks, such as a chance of the weapon exploding, and a thick smoke trail every time the weapon is fired.<ref>''[[Tactical Operations]],'' p. 284 – 286</ref>

Like [[Ultra Autocannon|Ultra]] or [[Rotary Autocannon|Rotary]] autocannons, Hypervelocity autocannons are unable to make use of special munitions.
