Looking at an old-time cannon, most people are sure of just one thing: the shot came out of the front end. For that reason, these pages are written; people are curious about the fascinating weapon that so prodigiously and powerfully lengthened the warrior's arm. And theirs is a justifiable curiosity, because the gunner and his "art" played a significant role in American history.

Autocannon is a comprehensive history of the development of automatic cannon and their ammunition from the end of the nineteenth century up to the present day. A brief history of their development is followed by sections examining the basic principles of gun and ammunition design, including various unconventional systems. Next comes a survey of cartridges in calibre order, from 20mm to 57mm, including not only ammunition that has seen service, but also a wide range of experimental types. Finally there is a survey of the cannon, grouped by nationality, which again includes many experimental models. The book includes data on about 200 different cartridges and 400 cannon, and has nearly 500 illustrations. It is the culmination of decades of research, and is unmatched in its coverage of this subject.

Medium calibre cannon are used by all three services and have a diverse range of applications which, in recent years, have brought about many exciting new developments in these weapons systems. These developments are centred around new approaches to ammunition design and advanced multi-purpose electronic fuses. This volume concentrates on both the traditional and new operating systems that these developments have brought about and on the new ammunition natures. It is intended for use by officers in all three services and by engineers and scientists working on conventional weapons systems.
