That reminds of a story from Vietnam...a Cobra spotted a PT-76 moving across a field, but all his rockets were gone except for an HE pod. He fired anyway, thinking he could slow them down...when friendlies got to the strangely-immobilized PT later, they found that there were no penetrating hits, but the crew was dead nonetheless, and they all had blood coming out their noses and ears...the HE rounds didn't penetrate the PT, but the concussion from the HE rounds had killed them.

There should be a rule for that...
