If I had to guess I would say it could be fitted to and fired from a HMMWV with no problems.

Yes it can, and quite easily too. When the Humvee was being developed the ASP30 was being developed as well, with the intention of having it be the primary heavy weapon for it. The ring mount was specifically designed to deal with the recoil forces, and remember, the 30mm round fired by the AH64's 30mm cannon isn't all that huge: When I was a kid I stole my dads dummy round to show my friends at school, and got it in by placing it in a pencil tin. It was that short.
