And compared to the LAV-75 its definitely a weapon system that can take tanks and APC's on and kill them. They were due to go into production in 1996.
I am in the process of writing a Twilight 2000 Lions of Twilight module (using material posted on threads here) and the M8 AGS will make an appearance there as armor that was shipped out to Kenya in 1997 that came from the original production run.

That's pretty cool; it's good to know that the AGS isn't sitting in front of some office block, rotting away.
As cool as the LAV-75 is "on paper", I agree it's really not that great hence my (decidedly non-canon) "LAV-105" which is closer to the AGS at least in weapon performance.
