This little weapon is often underrated. It has the drawback of requiring ammunition, but the good news is that the ammo for this weapon is fairly cheap and doesn't take much space. What this weapon lacks in overall efficiency it makes up for with performance. It has a good rate of fire and, most importantly, it is the most accurate projectile weapon you have access to in the beginning of the game, with an impressive 70% base accuracy rating. A small group of hoverbikes armed with 40mm Auto Cannons can easily bring down the earlier scout craft in the game and can even prove to be a nuisance to the larger ones later on.

The 40mm Auto Cannon is a small machine gun for aircraft. It is standard armament for new Hoverbikes.

The 40mm Auto Cannon has weak projectiles, but makes up for this deficiency with its high rate of fire and very high base accuracy. This allows it to deal decent damage to early UFOs. An additional perk of the low damage is that it will cause minimal property damage to the city during intense air combat.

As new UFO types appear, the 40mm Auto Cannon will start to become less effective and eventually be unable to penetrate the armor on the hulls of the more advanced ships. They will still be able to damage energy shields.

The 40mm Auto Cannon is recommended for use on groups of aggressive swarmer vehicles. As new UFO appear they should be phased out and replaced with alternatives such as the Render Plasma Gun or better. The weaker but much more cost effective Bolter 4000 Laser Gun is also a popular replacement.
