Heh :)

Technobabble for the uninitiated...

RFAC = Rapid Fire Auto Cannon - just like a modern day autocannon with
ammo
from about 20mm up to 40mm (size 1 and size 2 in Stargrunt terms).  A
"light" cannon.

MDC = Mass Driver Cannon - magnetically accelerated rounds (ok, don't
everyone jump on the "exactly what is a gauss weapon" discussion
again... ;)

MDC's come in two types.  The MDC itself is a "big gun", available in
size
classes 3 to 5 only, and the GAC (Gauss Auto Cannon) is the lighter
version
- akin to the RFAC.  The HVC (High Velocity Cannon) is the "big gun"
version of the conventional firing cannon - and the RFAC is the light
version of that type of system.

So, the RFAC is to GAC as the HVC is to MDC.  Clear?  :)
