Please explain your issue is in as much detail as possible.
The issue started after installing Heavy Metal DLC. There are no autocannons anywhere in the stores, or in salvage. all the various types of ammo bins (normal, LB X, etc) are available, but no cannons themselves. Tried multiple planets, uninstalled/reinstalled, tried starting a new campaign, nothing. kneecapped a blackjack, you'd think there'd be at least one AC2, nope, nothing. There were a few in my storage, but those will run out quickly if I can't buy replacements.
Have you tried verifying your files?
Yes

For regular autocannon try Mining planets.
Or for a different fix - there is a mod called " New Stores " that I would recommend that resets the stores so that they carry more regular equipment and MUCH less advanced gear and mechs

Thank you, Ken-SW! I guess I hadn't hit a single mining planet as I was trying to find the autocannons. That was the solution.
