    Right, but my main concern, and I know I didn't emphasize this, was
exactly how to figure out hits against these partially exposed
occupants.  What happens if the M113 ACAV comes under attack by a HMG?
The firer of the HMG is not trying to hit the commander and gunners,
specifically, but he is trying to generally attack the ACAV.  What's the
chance of hitting one of these partially exposed occupants?  What about
the ACAV getting hit with the RPG-2?  What kind of damage might be done
to a commander when an RPG-2 makes a non-penetrating hit on the front of
the ACAV?
