:My suggestion would be to just append an "s". It seems clearly correct in most cases anyways; and regarding "AC/10s" I would argue that you speak/pronounce it as "class ten autocannons" (much like "i.e." is spoken as "that is").

− :: Traditionally, the plural of cannon is cannon, so autocannon should be autocannon, but -s plurals are allowable. It's become so common I don't even bother changing it. My suggested list:
− ::# One cannon -> many cannon(s)
− ::# One autocannon -> many autocannon(s)
− ::# One AC/10 -> many AC/10s (no apostrophe)
− ::# One PPC -> many PPCs (no apostrophe)
− ::# One LB 20-X -> many LB 20-X autocannon(s), because it's easier to reword it than decide how to write it
