It's the alternate ammo types that keep standard AC's relevant in the age of Ultra/LBX AC's. It's not enough though and by the time Rotary AC's are on the scene standard AC's are all but forgotten.

Not entirely true. Further developments like Light Autocannons become useful replacements to their standard counterparts. They save a bit of weight, have respectable range, no minimum range, deal the same damage AND they can still use specialized ammunition.
