To create a full range of [[ProtoMech]] weapon options, [[Clan Blood Spirit]] scientists returned to early efforts to create smaller and lighter [[autocannon]]. Though designed for ProtoMechs, the Spirit scientists made sure to create a weapon system that was compatible with larger combat units as well. The '''ProtoMech Autocannon/2''' is the lightest weapon in this family.<ref name="TOp286"/>

The ProtoMech Autocannon functions as a standard autocannon. When mounted on ProtoMechs and vehicles, these autocannon do not generate heat. <ref>''Tactical Operations'', p. 286</ref> ProtoMechs can only carry Proto-ACs as a Main Gun option.<ref>''Tactical Operations'', p. 284</ref> When mounted on a ProtoMech, these weapons can carry ammunition by the shot rather than the ton. Divide the number of shots per ton (40) by 1000 to find out how much each individual shot weighs in kilograms.<ref>''Tactical Operations'', p. 284</ref>
