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...

dude, you're making them out of trash and other crap laying around. mission dictated, field-expedient charges...not some contractor-made hooyah like a frag grenade.

I've made them from gallon milk jugs, oil funnels, travellers soap containers, and crap like that.

it's more the directional shape of the deal than exact physics of lines and shit. I think you're getting a bit too MadMath on it...
