Added info from the book
The '''Reaper Autocannon''' is a type of [[Autocannon]] used predominantly by [[Chaos Space Marine]] [[Chaos Terminator|Terminators]].{{Fn|1}}
However, at the time of the [[Great Crusade]] and [[Horus Heresy]] they were common in the arsenals of all the [[Legiones Astartes]]. Originally designed as a support weapon for [[Tactical Dreadnought Armour]], the Reaper is a compact, rapid-firing autocannon which depends on the strength of Terminator armour to stabilize the weapon and cope with its massive recoil.{{Fn|1}} Reaper autocannons’ fired mass-reactive explosive shells, that were each capable of killing a [[Rhino]] armoured transport on its own. And capable of punching through Tartaros-pattern [[Terminator Armour]]'s breastplate.{{Fn|4}}
A larger variant known as the '''Heavy Reaper Autocannon''' can be mounted on [[Defiler]]s.{{Fn|5}}
