I have a hard time understanding how guys are getting killed in M1A2 tanks by IEDs. The only way it seems that this is possible is they were either sitting outside the armor or the fuel tank was hit and fire spread through the tank. The first seems more plausible. Just confuses me...

Well then, if that's the case, wouldn't shaping them like a cone dampen the effect? I would think you would want a nice parabolic shape with the focus of the parabola dead on the tank?
