This is a very simple change, so I am just going to list out all the changes:
Dual 650mm Repeating Artillery and all its variations have been renamed as follows:
- Domination Dual 650mm Repeating AutoCannon
- Dual 650mm 'Scout' Repeating AutoCannon I
- Dual 650mm Carbine Repeating Cannon I
- Dual 650mm Gallium Machine Gun
- Dual 650mm Prototype Repeating Automatic Cannon
- Dual 650mm Repeating AutoCannon I
- Dual 650mm Repeating AutoCannon II
- Gotan's Modified Dual 650mm Repeating AutoCannon
- Mizuro's Modified Dual 650mm Repeating AutoCannon
- Republic Fleet Dual 650mm Repeating AutoCannon
800mm Repeating Artillery and all its variations have been renamed as follows:
- 800mm Heavy 'Jolt' Repeating AutoCannon I
- 800mm Heavy 'Scout' Repeating AutoCannon I
- 800mm Heavy Carbine Repeating Cannon I
- 800mm Heavy Gallium Machine Gun
- 800mm Heavy Prototype Repeating Automatic Cannon
- 800mm Repeating AutoCannon I
- 800mm Repeating AutoCannon II
- Domination 800mm Repeating AutoCannon
- Gotan's Modified 800mm Repeating AutoCannon
- Mizuro's Modified 800mm Repeating AutoCannon
- Republic Fleet 800mm Repeating AutoCannon
6x2500mm Repeating AutoCannon and all its variations have been renamed as follows:
- 6x2500mm Heavy Gallium Repeating Machine Gun
- 6x2500mm Repeating AutoCannon I
If you are wondering why, basically because it was stupid before and stupid needs to be fixed. I think most of these were actually supposed to be artileries when first created based on the item they were copied from and then later made into autocannons. Just their names and descriptions were never properly updated.
Let me know if I have missed something in these weapons and their renaming.

What would make more sense than "If you are wondering why, basically because it was stupid before and stupid needs to be fixed. I think most of these were actually supposed to be artileries when first created based on the item they were copied from and then later made into autocannons. Just their names and descriptions were never properly updated." would probably be:
They were called repeating artilleries because they were basically smaller sized artilleries (hence "artillery") which were shooting very fast (hence "repeating") and to make them shoot faster you need more CPU / PG.
I admit that it is not "idiot"-proof but I actually liked eve when it wasn't ... CCP is now only working on making everything more ... well ... "idiot"-proof. Reorganising skills, changing a lot of names on things (siege launchers => torpedo launcher ... because omg it's soooo hard to remember that torpedoes will be launched from siege launchers), "rebalancing" ships (many of the ships were actually pretty useful the way they were even if they were not the last tier) and so on ...
Basically this game is getting more and more "******"-friendly (to change the term a bit.) |

Why do you camel case AutoCannon, I suggest using `Autocannon` everywhere

You are entirely correct, which is why thats not what I named them. I copy and pasted from the wrong excel sheet. >.<
Op has been updated with the correct names.

I'm assuming the "dual" part is to differentiate between smaller class guns with the same caliber, but on a technical note, a lot of these guns, the way they are designed right now, could be considered "dual", such as dual 800mm Autocannon. And then there is artillery which are all dual-barreled. Maybe I'm just anal about it, but it would be cool if artillery had a single barrel design as opposed to double barrels. Then 650mm artillery cannon would look more like a 650mm, 1400mm wouldn't look like a dual 1400mm, etc. The naming just sucks for all the guns right now and almost don't correlate to what they actually look like. |

You can remodel the 1200s to be single-barreled (it might even be better) but don't you lay a finger on my beautiful 1400s. |

While we're talking about art assets, maybe the 800s can get some actual barrels inside their rotating cylinders, much like Valkyries have on their guns.
Okay, I admit the 1400mm's one of my favorite models, but.. but.. what if they made it a BFG 
And I feel like both a few of the ACs, arty and railguns could use a touch up. Some of them look plain silly like the 250mm artillery and all the smaller caliber railguns of each size. |

Do that with the 1200. Leave the 1400s alone. |

If you are going to go to the trouble of renaming them, why dont you actually standardize them all. Instead of "machine gun", "repeating cannon" and "automatic cannon", wouldnt it be simpler if they were all just "AutoCannon?" |

maybe hexa instead of 6x to be consistent with "Dual" and "Quad" as found in other names?

CCP Ytterbium wrote:Don't you think changing skill names is "dumbing the game down"?
- EVE gameplay and sense of loss should be harsh, dark and unforgiving, in that there is no doubt and we agree completely. However, fighting the UI at every turn should not be the main complexity point here - it just means players have become used to an old and outdated interface for too long. Simply put, the hard and unforgiving nature of EVE should not be to retrieve information on a basic level, it should be on how players act based on that information and interact with the gameplay that revolves around it.

Maybe CCP should implement, just for you, so that every time you open your skill sheet, all the skills are in one tab called "skills" and they have a random organization every time. Because not having a UI that suck balls make the game a lot worse right? |

Please reconsider running a quick script to rename "AutoCannon" to "Autocannon", you're already making changes to the naming so why not fix the inconsistency that exists?
- The skillbook is called "Large Autocannon Specialization".
- Descriptions refer to them as "autocannons".
- The market group is called "Autocannons".
So again, please, while you're at it, fix that.

question
if for example you have a unit of republic fleet emp M,how can you fitt it in guns with different sizes?like 180/220/425mm.
the size of the ammo remains the same only the guns size differs :D.is the ammo universal?why couldnt i fit a republic fleet emp M in a 1400mm gun?
why not proper rename guns like rails/ac/artillery? take example from blaster (electron/ion/neutron) |
