Reaper Autocannon
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
(Redirected from Reaper autocannon)
The Reaper Autocannon is a type of Autocannon used predominantly by Chaos Space Marine Terminators.[1]
However, 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’ fired mass-reactive explosive shells, that were each capable of killing a Rhino armoured transport on its own.[4]
A larger variant known as the Heavy Reaper Autocannon can be mounted on Defilers.[5]
