An autocannon is a direct fire, ballistic weapon. They fire high velocity, high-explosive, armor-piercing rounds, either singly or in bursts, and are classified by the damage they inflict - in other words, super-sized machine guns. Calibers in published Battletech works range from 25mm to 203mm. Different manufacturers and models of autocannons have different calibers and rates of fire, grouping into generic "classes" of autocannons with common performances. For example, the Crusher Super Heavy Cannon is a 150mm weapon that fires 10 shells per "shot," while the Chemjet Gun is a 185mm weapon firing more slowly, but both are class-20 autocannons.

Different manufacturers and models of autocannons have different calibers and rates of fire, grouping into generic "classes" of autocannons with common performances. For example, the Crusher Super Heavy Cannon is a 150mm weapon that fires 10 shells per "shot," while the Chemjet Gun is a 185mm weapon firing more slowly, but both are class-20 autocannons.
