Autocannon are similar in concept to twentieth century tank guns. They are rapid firing and use mass-reactive explosive ammunition. They are usually either mounted on weapon carriages or vehicles because of their great weight.
Due to their high rate of fire and sufficient killing power, they are effective against large infantry formations, medium infantry and light armored vehicles. Autocannons are used by the Imperial Guard, Space Marines, Witch Hunters and Chaos Space Marines.
