Light Autocannon

Light Autocannons are popular weapons because they are rugged, simple to design and inexpensive to field. Most come in the form of a Gear-sized rifle which uses clip or belt-fed ammunition. They are mounted in the turret and hull of several armored vehicles as secondary weapons.

The 25mm Riley M222 Autocannon is one of the most reliable weapons ever produced. It is used by almost all Hunter-class Gears and has been the basis for several designs. The southern Jäger trooper Gear uses a practically identical weapon made by Paxton Arms.
