Armed Assault contains quite a few visual puns, jokes and inside information. As these are often visible out in the open, they may or may not live up to a narrow definition of Easter eggs as hidden information visible only when triggered by the player. In general, the former type of inside jokes can be subsumed under the category of intertextual references, or simply strange or funny sightings. This is by no means an exhaustive list, feel free to expand it.
Abridged Brand Names
Schnell
Armed Assault is suspected to sport quite a large range of customized brand names, such as S(c)h(n)ell spotted by user Aimpoint in the Combat Photography Thread.
Coyota
This jeep goes by the name "Coyota", also note the Sundat brand.
EPJ
On many pubs is logo of Czech clan EPJ, probably included by former member Armored Sheep, now

References to Czech culture
Starobahno
Beer title on sunshades refers to Czech beer Starobrno (can be translated as "Old Brno"; Starobahno means "Old mud").
