Description[edit]
The Ultra AC/2 (also UAC/2) was the smallest bore autocannon of the Ultra series. Ultra autocannon were capable of firing twice in a turn, doubling heat and—potentially—damage. Since it was the smallest, the Ultra AC/2 also had the longest range and most ammo per ton of any Ultra autocannon; however, it also dealt the least amount of damage.
Variants[edit]
In the years between the Second Exodus and the beginning of Operation KLONDIKE, the nascent Clans began development of what would become the Ultra AC/2. Experimental prototype versions of this new weapon were used during Operation KLONDIKE in small quantities. The Clan prototype Ultra AC/2 available during this period had identical stats in comparison to the Inner Sphere Ultra AC/2, though the latter took up additional mounting space and was more prone to jam.[3]
Models[edit]
The Ultra AC/2 was manufactured on the following planets in the Inner Sphere:
Mydron Model D-rf[edit]
The Model D-rf fired 20mm hyper-velocity depleted uranium-tipped shells[4]
| Manufactured on | Manufactured by | Typically used in | References |
| Gulkana | Yeffters Weapons Factory | JagerMech III | [4] |
| Quentin | Independence Weaponry | JagerMech III | [5] |
| Talon | Kallon Industries | JagerMech III | [5] |
Notes[edit]
- This article refers to a common object and addresses the object as a common noun. The preferred term is "Ultra AC/2" or "UAC/2" (except on section titles & table headings, where "Ultra Autocannon/2" is favored).
