'Ashley also shares the same name as Bruce Campbell's character Ashley "Ash" Williams in the Evil Dead and Army of Darkness movies. If Ashley is in the team on Virmire, her conversation response includes a reference to shooting things with her "boomstick."'
If you play number 3 on the 360 and use the kinect/voice system, saying Boomstick will make your character (or any shotgun wielding teammates) draw the appropriate weapon.
