autocannon
Rapid vehicle weapon
An autocannon is a large automatic weapon that fires explosive shells—bigger than a machine gun, smaller than artillery.
Mounted on aircraft, armored vehicles, and naval vessels, autocannons fire rapidly and can engage lightly armored targets: The fighter jet's 20mm autocannon tore through the fuselage.
Also called an automatic cannon.
