:"ASW/AC" may stand for "anti-ship weapon/autocannon"; it's doubtful that anti-submarine warfare would be a serious consideration in the 26th century, much less that it would be noted in the name of an autocannon. Not sure if a cannon of this size would be considered an "anti-ship" weapon though. Someone somewhere (can't seem to find the post now) suggested that "MLA" may stand for "magnetic linear accelerator" - we still have no direct confirmation on how exactly these things operate, but it would make sense for them to be coilguns. --[[User:Jugus|<font color="MidnightBlue"><b>Jugus</b></font>]] <small>([[User talk:Jugus|<font color="Gray">Talk</font>]] | [[Special:Contributions/Jugus|<font color="Gray">Contribs</font>]])</small> 00:52, 12 October 2012 (EDT) | :"ASW/AC" may stand for "anti-ship weapon/autocannon"; it's doubtful that anti-submarine warfare would be a serious consideration in the 26th century, much less that it would be noted in the name of an autocannon.

- "ASW/AC" may stand for "anti-ship weapon/autocannon"; it's doubtful that anti-submarine warfare would be a serious consideration in the 26th century, much less that it would be noted in the name of an autocannon. Not sure if a cannon of this size would be considered an "anti-ship" weapon though. Someone somewhere (can't seem to find the post now) suggested that "MLA" may stand for "magnetic linear accelerator" - we still have no direct confirmation on how exactly these things operate, but it would make sense for them to be coilguns. --Jugus (Talk | Contribs) 00:52, 12 October 2012 (EDT)
