The autogun is a firearm similar to a twentieth century automatic rifle in appearance and operation. Unlike twentieth century versions, it uses small caliber, caseless bullets which are made from metal or synthetic materials. It has a high rate of fire, shooting bursts of high-velocity rounds.
Although considered obsolete and as so phased out of Imperial Guard arsenals, autoguns often find their way into the hands of all forms of militia and gangsters (like gangs that plague massive hive-cities of the planet known as Necromunda), as well as being the standard service rifle of Planetary Defence Forces in less advanced cultures.
