"A projectile turret is a turret which launches a ballistic, gyroscopically stabilized round. Projectile turrets are relatively low-tech, and are the primary weapon of Minmatar ships. Like missiles, they require no capacitor to fire."
"Artillery cannons are long ranged weapons which possess impressive volley damage. It is not unusual to see a Tempest or Maelstrom do 4,000 to even 6,000 damage in one alpha strike. Unfortunately, artillery deals relatively little damage over time due to a low rate of fire, have low tracking speeds, and are often difficult to fit due to high powergrid requirements."
this may be talking about the turrets for ships but it pretty much is the same concept for our weapons. and no im not completely wrong in the naming of them but in context, yes i am right that they are similarly autocannons and artillery cannons.
the mass driver is a type of artillery, if you didnt know that, even though it uses grenades, it can be fire across long ranges and just like artillery cannons, it fires at a slower rate and does little damage over time compared to other weapons.
combat rifles and SMG's are very much like auto cannons. they are low tech but very effective weapons that shoot projectile based rounds at short to medium ranges.

Autocannons are 20mm and up
no one ever said how big our HMG's are. and our assault variants can destroy vehicles now, so theorically they could be using 20mm ammunition

we were until someone got butthurt and wanted to point out some "flaws" in my choice of naming them, which they are wrong as well.

lets do our best to not derail this topic. lore aside, naming these things something better than what they are now would be interesting and maybe even greater and more sensible.
