By bullet proof if you mean small arms, and shrapnel yes they are. 50
cals,
Dshks and whatnot are not small arms. The only people under that
illusion that
IFVs are as impervious as tanks are pundits and civilians.  Anyone
riding in
APCs/IFVs, working on them or fighting with them is not under that
illusion.
