how do you know it's not penetrated?

I'm asking, since penetration of m113 with hedp works on my end

I can't know for sure without some sort of special script, but I tested as empirically as I could.

I filled an M113 up with passengers and fired dozens of M203 right at the side of the compartment where they sit. It never caused any casualties. If I use a heavier HEAT weapon against the same point, I can kill some of them that way. Similarly, M203 works great against the rear doors of an M113, as well as BTR, BMP-2, BMD-1 and even the rear doors of a Bradley.

How do you know that your HEDP penetrated? Did you cause casualties that way, or do you have some sort of tracing script?

Damn, now I can't repro the problem either. Not sure what I was seeing before. Maybe a lot of bad luck in a row.
