Swedish pbv 401 or 407/Russian MTLB

I always loved the idea of the ASP and the BRG-15. I reckon in a T2K world they would be widespread enough. A couple of ASP's could ruin a marauder bands day :-) Would HMMWV's be able to mount an ASP or would the recoil be too much?

I very much agree.

Should be able to. I don't think recoil would be the problem (it specifically states it can be fired from a NATO Heavy Tripod) but I do wonder whether the weapon's dimensions would be incompatible with the ring mount/gunshield you see on many Hummers. 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.
