Description[edit]

Hyper-Velocity Autocannon is based on the Autocannon. While it has the same damage class, it is capable of firing much further. However, in order to obtain the increased ballistic range, the hyper-velocity ammo is larger, reducing the number of shots per ton of ammo. Like Ultra or Rotary autocannons, Hyper-Velocity autocannons are unable to make use of special munitions.[5][1]

Models[edit]

The Hyper-Velocity Autocannon/2 is manufactured on the following planets:
