Changes

'''Auto weapons''' are used throughout the [[Imperium]] and are similar in operation to twentieth century automatic guns. They use solid ammunition rather than the easily rechargeable power packs of las weapons, meaning auto weapons are more likely to run out of ammunition in a protracted battle. The strong point of auto weapons is that they use relatively basic technology and are capable of being produced even on low-tech worlds.

Whereas As they are identical in game terms to las weapons immediately cauterize the wound, injuries auto weapons have been removed from auto weapon rounds continue to bleedarmy lists, with the exception of the autocannon.

As they are identical in game terms to las weapons, auto weapons have for the most part been removed from army lists, with the exception of the autocannon. [[Autopistol]]s and [[autogun]]s are similar in power to their laser counterparts ([[laspistol]] and [[lasgun]]) but the [[autocannon]] is very different to the [[lascannon]]. Instead of very high power it has a higher rate of fire, which has allowed it to survive the recent reduction in streamlining of weapons types available to the Imperial commander. There are also [[sniper Rifle|sniper weapons]] using solid slugs, however these are also being superseded by the Long-las.

'''Autocannons''' are fast firing and long ranged heavy versions of the auto weapons, and are still in use throughout the Imperiumby Imperial armies.
