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 have different calibers (25mm-203mm) and rates of fire. Due to this, autocannons are grouped into generic "classes" of autocannons with common damage ratings. For example, the Crusher Super Heavy Cannon is a 150mm weapon that fires ten shells per "shot", while the Chemjet Gun is a 185mm weapon firing more slowly, but both are classified as [[Autocannon/20|Autocannon/20s]]. Any weapon rated as an '''Autocannon/10''' will have an increased damage output, usually at the cost of range.

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.

The Autocannon is a direct-fire ballistic weapon, firing HEAP (High-Explosive Armor-Piercing) rounds at targets either singly or in bursts. 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. For example, the Crusher Super Heavy Cannon is a 150mm weapon that fires ten shells per "shot", while the Chemjet Gun is a 185mm weapon firing more slowly, but both are classified as Autocannon/20s. Any weapon rated as an Autocannon/10 will have an increased damage output, usually at the cost of range.
