Description[edit]
The light autocannon was prototyped in the late 3050s, and introduced in 3068 by the Federated Suns, seeing full-scale production only after the Word of Blake Jihad destroyed the New Avalon Institute of Science. The light AC/5 was, as its name implies, a smaller, lighter version of the autocannon/5. While it did not have the range of its larger cousin, it retained the ability to use the same special munitions.[1]
Models[edit]
The light AC/5 was manufactured on the following planets:
Imperator Napoleon[edit]
| Manufactured on | Manufactured by | Typically used in | References |
| Atreus | Imperator Automatic Weaponry | PGD-Y3 Poignard, ITW-200 Inquisitor II | [1][5][6] |
Mydron Snakekiller[edit]
