Due to their high rate of fire and sufficient killing power, they are effective against large infantry formations and light armored vehicles.{{Fn|3}}, which 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 Marines' [[power armour]] has been known to stop autocannon rounds.{{Fn|5}}
