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 militiaand gangsters (like gangs that plague massive hive-cities of the planet known as [[Necromunda]]), and are as well as being the standard arm service rifle of [[Planetary Defence Forces]] in less advanced cultures.
