suicide bomber vs. Bradley AFV

Hmmm...given that my understanding of the design of the Bradly "Battlefield Taxi" was that a single .50cal shell would pass through the length of the damn thing without slowing much...

I'm impressed - I would have thought it would have been blowin into large pieces. (BT, I'm assuming the waste of genetic material carrying the bomb was using more than just a couple sticks of dynamite - something like 2-3 lbs of plastique at a minimum.)

I also have to admit that I hope the driver/crew (if any) weren't hurt.

The pics of the head are out there, I've seen them.

I'm not sharing the links though, nasty stuff.

The Israelies like to publish the pictures of the suicide bombers too. Decapitation seems to be a common injury.

Yeah, lots of other "interesting" fragments too.

Well vapourizing isn't quite the proper term for what happens tot he torso. It is typically in pretty small pieces though.

Rift Jumper, that's a little closer.

The end result is something more like a stew than a liquid (ie, kinda chunky)

That sounds pretty close to what I saw.
