Due to their high rate of fire and sufficient killing power, they are effective against large infantry formations and light armored vehicles.{{Fn|3}} This makes them ideal for use against large [[Tyranid]] organisms and [[Ork]]ish vehicles.{{Fn|4}} They are also useful against heavy infantry such as [[Space Marines]], although their [[power armour]] has been known to stop autocannon rounds.{{Fn|5}}
Autocannons are used by the [[Imperial Guard]], [[Space Marines]], [[Witch Hunters]], and [[Chaos Space Marines]]. Orks , in particular , enjoy using autocannons because of the prodigious noise and recoil produced by firing them.{{Fn|2}}
