−	Developed in [[3062]] by the [[Federated Commonwealth]], the '''Rotary Autocannon/2''' is based only loosely on the [[Autocannon/2]]. While it has the same bore, it is capable of firing up to six times as many rounds as its standard cousin, allowing it to deal three times the damage of even an [[Ultra AC/2]] (while the Inner Sphere variants suffer from a minor drop to effective range). The weapon may fire up to six times in a turn, with each additional shot giving the potential for increased damage. At the same time, each extra shot increases the amount of heat the autocannon builds and increases the chance for a jam.

−	Though initially prototyped in the mid-3050s it wasn't until the [[Light Autocannon]] entered production that the Rotary Autocannon became viable. The lighter weight barrel of the LAC was mated to a stronger breech derived from [[Ultra Autocannon]] to create the RAC.<ref>''Field Manual: Federated Suns'', p. 158</ref>	+	==Models==
