Follow the SURVIVAL procedure in U.S. Vehicle Note 51 (the LVT4).

The answers are, based on an LVT4:
A Gun is eliminated
An unarmored vehicle is eliminated. Surviving PRC roll for survival using the glider's cs#.
An armored vehicle is attacked with a +2 DRM. If it survives the AFV is Bogged inside the glider. If the AFV does not survive (and does not blaze), PRC survive or not based on the AFV's CS#. The LVT rules do not discuss PRC automatically having CE/BU status, so this must be something that the player has to designate.
The last question, regarding surviving PRC, is n/a because any survivors are put on foot in the hex, i.e. outside the glider.
