I believe the front of the M113 is proof against 14.5 mm.
The upper front armor is 38 mm @ 45 degrees and the lower front is 38 mm at 30 degrees.
For a good reference on the M113 family : http://afvdb.50megs.com/usa/m113.html |
The problem I am having is slope..... the glacis is sloped.
Therefore, the table needs to factor in degree of slope for armor.
Angle increases depth relative to penetration.
