=== Rotary autocannons ===
Rotary autocannons have a spinning barrel made up of 6 smaller barrels around a central point.

* Mass: 400 units (4,000 kg)
* Burst fire rate: 1,800 rounds/minute (2 ticks per round)
* Maximum burst fire duration: 5.56 seconds
* Cooldown time: 6.733 seconds
* Maximum sustained fire rate: 814 rounds/minute
* Ammo drum capacity: 250 rounds (large), 100 rounds (medium), 50 rounds (small) [halved compared to light autocannon]
* Muzzle velocity: 1,000 m/s
* Projectile lifetime (ticks): 300
* Maximum range: Approx. 1.5 km

Ammo effects:
* Kinetic: Damages blocks up to 0.75 meters (3 block lengths) away from the impact point. No penetration.
* High explosive: Damages blocks up to 0.75 meters (3 block lengths) away from the impact point. No penetration.
* Fragmentation: Spews shrapnel from the point of impact in all directions. Can penetrate an airgapped wall to spew shrapnel on the other side. Will also damage blocks within 1/4 meter (1 block length) from the point of impact.
* Armor piercing: Can pierce through three (airgapped) walls to hit a fourth. Wall thickness does not appear to matter. The first wall also suffers damage to blocks within half a meter (2 block lengths) from the impact point, the second wall suffers damage out to 1/4 meter (1 block length), while the last two suffer damage only to the directly impacted point. Deals no damage to walls made of armor (weight blocks).
* Incendiary: ~10% chance <noinclude></noinclude> per shot of starting a fire at the impact point. No penetration.

Note: rotary autocannons require approximately 0.5 seconds to spin up before they will start firing. They spin up and spin down at the same rate and fire once they have spun up, so they can be 'primed' for more responsive firing by spinning up for just under 0.5 seconds and then alternately spinning up then down every other tick. This creates an audible clicking sound.
