[[Image:Autogun3.jpg|thumb|right|Autogun]]
The '''autogunAutogun''' is a [[projectile weapon]] similar in appearance and operation to autmatic automatic rifles of the [[M20|twentieth century]].<sup>1</sup> Unlike ancient firearms, autoguns typically use caseless ammunition, made of metal, plastic or ceramics, and are constructed with [[plasteel]], increasing their rate of fire and reliability.<sup>1</sup>
Although considered obsolete and as so phased out of most [[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.<sup>1</sup>
