The [[Autocannon|Autocannon]] of the Kroot weapons.

The Kroot Gun is a weapon used by Kroot mercenaries. It is a heavy weapon strapped to the back of a [[Krootox]]. It is effectively a larger version of the Kroot rifle. It is so big that it cannot be wielded by hand.

The Krootox and the gun are often incorporated into Kroot Carnivore Squads made up of Kroot, [[Kroot Hound|Kroot Hounds]], and the aforementioned Krootox. Because of its high strength, the Kroot gun is usually utilized to protect the squad it is in from attack by units within transports and heavier vehicles.

A twin-linked version of the weapon exists, and is toted on the backs of a [[Great Knarloc]]. Obviously it functions identically, but with the caveat of having double the barrels, so double the firepower.

In 8th Edition, these guns are 48" Rapid Fire 1 weapons that are S7 Ap-1 D3d. Good enough to pluck off the occasional MEQs, but not good enough to deal with armoured vehicles of TEQs unlike the [[Autocannon]]. Rather, the gun is used in conjunction with the Krootox's natural strength, softening up the opposition before going in close. As such, use this more like a secondary weapon than a primary one.
