- Variable ammunition load: The number of different munitions this weapon can fire gives it good flexibility, and it is very effective when used with mixed ammunition belts.
- Thump thump thump: The weapon’s high rate of fire and decent shell size allows it to shred LAVs and infantry, and even lets it break fortifications through repeated damage against a small area.
- Blunt: The small bore of the rounds it fires are lacking in armour penetration compared to larger cannons
- Hot hot: The weapon has a tendency to overheat and jam when fired for long periods, and needs to be allowed to cool before the autoloading system unjams it.
Designed to fill a role between laser cannons and the larger Torchstar Smoothbore Cannon the Arms Dynamics Rushlight Autocannon is a compact but reliable slug cannon that can fire a wide variety of rounds in mixed belts. The weapon is most commonly mounted on heavy fighters, gunships, and light armoured vehicles but can also be seen as a secondary weapon on walkers and heavy tanks.
