==Squat Variants== ===Ironhead Autopistol=== [[File:Ironhead_Autopistol.PNG|200px|right|thumb|Ironhead Autopistol]] A cousin of the [[Ironhead Stub Gun]]. The Ironhead Autopistol trade firepower for more [[dakka]]. Used only by the young [[Digger]]s of the [[Ironhead Squat Prospectors]] from [[Necromunda]], this Autopistol variant is one of the first weapons a Ironhead Squat would receive upon his induction into the Prospector clans. Like the rest of the weapons made from the Ironheads, the Ironhead Autopistol sport the same double-barrel, drum-fed magazine design. However, given how teeny-tiny that drum magazine is, this Autopistol is gonna chew through ammunition with two seconds. Seriously, we can't believe we are saying this, but GeeDubs should have given the gun a ''bigger drum magazine''. Another thing that is unique to this weapon is that it seems to automatically come with a scope. Now, why there is a need for a scope on a weapon that literally fits the definition of "Spray and Pray", we have no idea. You would ''expect'' that the more accurate, slower firing and harder hitting Stub Gun variant would be given the scope right? ===Ironhead Autogun=== [[File:Ironhead_Autogun.PNG|200px|right|thumb|Ironhead Autogun]] The Ironhead Autogun shares the same structural profile as the [[Ironhead Heavy Stubber]] and the [[Ironhead Boltgun]]. It is a two-handed heavy machine gun that is designed to be a heavy weapon because of how big and bulky. It is used by the [[Drill Master]]s and [[Drill-Kyn]]s of the [[Ironhead Squat Prospectors]] from [[Necromunda]]. As a natural twin-linked weapon, the Autogun unlike conventional Autoguns, is very unwieldy to carry. But this is alright when you come in packing with lots of [[dakka]]. As it is twin-linked, conventional wisdom goes that this should be put in the [[combi-weapon]] category, however, the reality is that this Autogun is somewhat similar to the [[Storm bolter]], as it is not two weapons duct taped together, but a single weapon system that just so happens to have two barrels. What this means is that rather than firing each barrel separately in tandem via a hotwired single trigger mechanism, the gun fires two rounds at the same time, due to the fact that the entire firing mechanism being fused together. To compensate for the sudden increase in firepower, the Ironhead variant sports a huge drum-fed cylindrical magazine; holding a shit ton of ammunition at the expanse of weight. Fortunately for the Squats, they just so happen to be strong enough that such cumbersome weight is a non-issue. This design stays consistent with the rest of the Ironhead's weapons, even their ''pistols'' sport the same double-barrel, drum-fed magazine design. Compared to the Heavy Stubber or Boltgun cousins, the Autogun does not fire as fast as the former nor hit as hard as the latter. The only thing going for it is that it is very cheap to manufacture and does not cost as much, allowing your Squats to launch a hail of cheap yet potent [[dakka]]. Yes, it is a bit underwhelming as it sounds, but this is still a SAW you are looking at. ===MATR Autocannon=== [[File:MATR.jpg|200px|thumb|right|MATR Autocannon]] One of the few known [[Squat]] Autoweapons in the [[Leagues of Votann]]. The MATR Autocannon is a three-barreled Autocannon Gatling weapon system used by the Leagues of Votann. It is known to be mounted on vehicles such as the [[Sagitaur ATV]] and [[Hekaton Land Fortress]] as one of its primary weapons. It is by far one of the more normal-looking weapons in the world of [[Bullshit|bullshit crazy]] that is the Leagues, so there is nothing much to speak about other than having better weapon performance and handling. Unfortunately, it also looks [[Pretend|suspiciously similar]] to the [[HYLas Rotary Cannon]] and vice versa, so don't be too surprised if folks get confused with one another. In terms of rules, these are 24" Heavy 6, S7 Ap-2 D2. Your typical autocannon, but with a couple of extra shots. An option for the Sagitaur, whilst being a standard on the Land Fortress. {{Clear}} {{40k-Squat-Weapons}}
