The '''Pilum Sentry Cannon''' is a smaller variant of the [[Assault Cannon]] with a 360° field of fire. Rather than being operated by a human being, it is operated by a [[Machine spirit| computer]]. Its sophisticated autosenses coupled to complex identification systems allow it to automatically fire at charging enemy infantry. As ammunition is limited, it fires only in short, sharp bursts at close range. The sensors are programmed to identify allies by chapter symbol, army badge, or other markings to prevent friendly fire.{{Fn|1}}
Along with the [[Tornado Barrage Launcher]], it was excavated from the asteroidal rubble of [[Adantris V]] and sanctioned by the [[Adeptus Mechanicus]] for retrofit on the hatches of all imperial vehicles.{{Fn|1}}
