'''Auto weapons''' are used throughout the [[Imperium]] and are similar in operation to twentieth century automatic guns. They use solid ammunition rather than the easily rechargeable power packs of las weapons, meaning auto weapons are more likely to run out of ammunition in a protracted battle. The strong point of auto weapons is that they use relatively basic technology and are capable of being produced even on low-tech worlds.
As they are identical in game terms to las weapons, auto weapons have been removed from army lists, with the exception of the autocannonand battle cannon.
[[Autopistol]]s and [[autogun]]s are similar in power to their laser counterparts ([[laspistol]] and [[lasgun]]) but the [[autocannon]] is very different to the [[lascannon]]. Instead of very high power it has a higher rate of fire, which has allowed it to survive the recent streamlining of weapons types available to the Imperial commander.
