The Reaper Autocannon is a type of Autocannon used predominantly by Chaos Space Marine Terminators.[1]

At the time of the Great Crusade and Horus Heresy they were common in the arsenals of all the Legiones Astartes. Originally designed as a support weapon for Tactical Dreadnought Armour, the Reaper is a compact, rapid-firing autocannon which depends on the strength of Terminator armour to stabilize the weapon and cope with its massive recoil.[1] Reaper autocannons fire mass-reactive explosive shells, that are each capable of killing a Rhino armoured transport on its own or punching through the breastplate of a suit of Tartaros-pattern Terminator Armour.[4]

A larger variant known as the Heavy Reaper Autocannon can be mounted on Defilers.[5]
