On all this videos i tried to hit engines of vehicles which are not protected from .50 and 12.7x108. Sometimes i have success when i shot from the same side as engine mounted (like shooting to the right side of M113) but mostly u can see that there are problems with engine damaging.

As i think all this vehicles (BTR, BMP (from the side and the back), M113, HMMWV, MRAPs) must be penetrable by MMGs (M240/PKM/PKP with AP rounds) in some cases and HMGs with effective damage at various part of vehicle.
