Different manufacturers and models of autocannons had different calibers (25–203mm) and rates of fire. Due to this, autocannons were grouped into generic "classes" of similar common damage ratings, with autocannon/2s having an extremely long range, at the cost of a very small damage output.<ref name="TMp207+">''TechManual'', pp. 207–208: "Autocannons"</ref> Different manufacturers and models of autocannons had different calibers (25–203mm) and rates of fire.

− When compared against an LRM, the autocannon/2 class traded damage and mass for more utility in use. The weapon could be fired approximately 90 meters further than an LRM volley. It also had a minimum range of 60 meters closer than a standard [[Inner Sphere]] LRM launcher. Finally, the cannon passed on little heat to the mounted vehicle when fired, compared to an LRM system. + When compared against an LRM, the autocannon/2 class traded damage and mass for more utility in use.
