Humvees explode after taking one or two 5.56 magazines from above
New, NormalPublic

Description

When fired at from the top (so the bullets hit the top of the roof), the CSLA Humvee seems exceptionally weak to small arms fire.

I understand that the Humvee is not very well-protected, and I'm on board with taking component damage and being vulnerable as a passenger, but to have the entire thing explode after a couple of 5.56 mags is a bit absurd. The standard hatchback is more resilient!

This seems to be particular to hits from above. The Humvee is still maybe a little too fragile from other angles, but firing from above has a dramatically worse effect.

I also feel like the Humvee explosion is unusually violent for a vehicle without any HE ammunition stores, but that's debatable.

Steps To Reproduce

Place a Humvee in the editor and rotate it so it's on its side (not clipping into the ground or so high it takes fall damage). Place a man with a suitable gun - I used the SPAR-16 - nearby to play as.

Spend some time unloading magazines into the Humvee from various angles, including from the roofward angle, and observing the effects. Restart the mission as needed to refresh the damaged vehicle.
