Great suggestion! PLA Type 75A1 it is.

Dunno. Maybe so. Still, I don't know if that would have stuck had the M-8 AGS been selected for production. Besides, I really like Ridgeway for the upgunned LAV-75A1/M20.

I don't want people to get confused and imagine the RL M-8 AGS. I think an entirely new designation is in order.
