So it's quite "reasonable", having in mind that in Arma 3, when a vehicle is damaged explodes. MRAPs are meant to withstand only light weapons fire and IEDs (some with attache armor can even "bear" RPGs). Also have in mind that our RG-33 is heavy W.I.P. On the HMMWV, well, they are not even armored, so even a 5.56mm should be able to disable them. They were designed as rearguard transport vehicles, not as fighting ones.

(0001828) MistyRonin (administrator) 2015-07-22 19:10	I'm sorry, but we don't know it yet. I mean, we would like to create the M1151 (the nowadays armored version). But at this moment it's not even in our plans. Tho we have a few MRAPs in our pipeline (M-ATV & RG-33L for instance), so at some point this year we may release some light armored vehicles :)
