Auto weapons are used throughout the Imperium and are similar in operation to twentieth century automatic guns. They use solid ammunition rather than the easily rechargeable power packs of las weapons, meaning auto weapons are more likely to run out of ammunition in a protracted battle. The strong point of auto weapons is that they use relatively basic technology and are capable of being produced even on low-tech worlds.

整个帝国都使用自动武器，其操作与二十世纪的自动枪相似。它们使用固体弹药，而不是激光武器的易于充能的能量弹夹，这意味着自动武器在旷日持久的战斗中更有可能耗尽弹药。自动武器的优点是它们使用相对基本的技术，即使在低技术世界也能生产。

As they are identical in game terms to las weapons, auto weapons have been removed from army lists, with the exception of the autocannon and battle cannon.

由于它们在游戏方面与激光武器完全相同，自动武器已从军队列表中删除，但自动炮和战斗炮除外。

Autopistols and autoguns are similar in power to their laser counterparts (laspistol and lasgun) but the autocannon is very different to the lascannon. Instead of very high power it has a higher rate of fire, which has allowed it to survive the recent streamlining of weapons types available to the Imperial commander.

自动手枪和自动枪的能力与它们的激光对应物（激光手枪和激光枪）相似，但自动炮与激光炮非常不同。它没有非常高的功率，而是具有更高的射速，这使它能够在帝国指挥官最近精简的武器类型中幸存下来。

Types of Auto Weapon 自动武器类型

Autogun 自动枪

Autoguns are basic weapons similar in power to Lasguns and are slowly being superseded by them.

自动枪是与激光枪类似的基本武器，正在慢慢被它们取代。

Autopistol 自动手枪

自动手枪是自动枪的较小版本，正慢慢被激光手枪取代。

Autocannon 自动炮

Autocannons are fast firing and long ranged heavy versions of the auto weapons, and are still in use by Imperial armies.

自动炮是快速射击和远程重型自动武器，帝国军队仍在使用。

Battle cannon 战斗炮

Macro cannon 宏炮

Macro cannons are the heaviest forms of auto-weapon. Being extremely powerful, heavy and relatively slow firing, they are suitable mainly in a support or defense role.

宏炮是最重的自动武器。由于其极其强大、沉重且射击相对缓慢，它们主要适用于支援或防御。

Assault cannon 突击炮

Assault cannon is a six barreled cannon commonly carried on Land Raiders or with Space Marine Terminator armours.
