Talk:M1117 Armored Security Vehicle

Popular culture
Does anyone think there should be an "M1117 in popular culture" section? An example would be the second-to-last scene in the movie Analyse This where the first vehicles to show up on the scene as the FBI moves in are a pair of M1117s... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Vor'Cha (talk • contribs) 11:15, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

I have also see versions of M1117's in "The the Castle" and several in "Hurt Locker" Paragoalie (talk) 11:35, 14 March 2011 (UTC)

Can we get an actual photograph of this thing for the article? I just removed a pencil drawing. 206.17.98.11 (talk) 14:17, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

Deleted this. Some combat vehicles can roll off cargo planes completely combat ready ... some even without the plane landing. Take a look at videos of the BMD series of APC's if you are unaware of this. I suspect this is an unsubstantied manufacturer claim that is used as a selling point for private security companies and maybe, in the context of arms purchaseable by private companies this is the only vehicle capable of that but militaries around the world (from the USA to Russia to Indonesia) rely on the ability to combat drop APC's.
 * The ASV is the only vehicle that can roll off a cargo plane, combat ready, in under 20 minutes.


 * Well, technically BMD crews are parachuted seperate of the vehicle they're dropping in with, actually. But anywho, this article does seem to have a lot of unsourced claims, such as 'one vehicle being damaged destorying half the tires and still making it back to base' or something similar, is found in the article. Some citations would be nice. 75.149.203.217 (talk) 19:08, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

I find it odd when I hear the claim that it is roll-on/off C-130 capable. I was an ASV commander in the invasion; I also helped write the manual for the vehicle. In order to load the ASV in a C130 a very heavy armor plate had to be removed. While it is relatively easy to make operational from a C130 I would not say that it is completely roll off ready. Also, I am new to this edit thing. I have completed missions with all four tires flat and on another mission completed the mission on three wheels (one being completely blown off). I doubt I can site myself but I hope this helps Paragoalie (talk) 00:18, 20 May 2010 (UTC)

Updated version of BDRM?
It somewhat looks like a copy/updated version of the BDRM. It looks like they got the idea originally from the Russians. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.136.26.231 (talk) 17:10, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

It does have similar appearance to the BDRM-2. A fact, made many crews nervous in the Iraq invasion. The BDRM-1 (http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/land/row/brdm-1.htm) which the BDRM-2 was derived, does not look anything like the ASV. The ASV is an improved Vietnam era V-100 Commando (http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/systems/ground/v-100.htm). Both the V-100 and BDRM-2 were developed in the mid 60's and they are similar looking, the similarities end there.Paragoalie (talk) 00:09, 20 May 2010 (UTC)

asv in Popular Culture
This section was proposed before. I suggest we run with it. I can think of two movies that an ASV type family of vehicles appeared. The Last Castle and Hurt Locker. Can anybody else add to thios list before I put something together? Paragoalie (talk) 15:19, 27 December 2010 (UTC)

Blacklisted Links Found on the Main Page
Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request its removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.

✅ This issue has been resolved, and I have therefore removed the tag, if not already done. No further action is necessary.— cyberbot II NotifyOnline 20:53, 9 April 2014 (UTC)
