Getting Nailed...

This is how the dual array of the explosive formed projectile (EFP) and it's sister mine filled with ball bearings treats an M1114 fully-armored Humvee. This Humvee was cut through like a hot knife hit butter. The penetrating cap of the shaped charge cut through the 3 inches of armor and ballistic glass and then had enough energy to kill the driver and maim the gunner. This is a low-tech but high-yield weapon. The armor helps with bullets and the concussions of explosions but it's obviously not much good against this weapon system.

This is the typical cause of death to our troops when "road-side bomb" is used to describe how the given person died in recent news releases. (CLICK ON PHOTO TO ENLARGE.)
