As a further food for thought on BONUS/SADARM types, keep in mind that these are going to be very limited issue weapons. SADARM production was terminated after few hundreds rounds; only 300 were issued for the iraqi campaign and less than half of that were actually used, about the 0.7% of the rounds fired by the units equipped with them.
High cost, lack of worthwhile enemy AFVs in the current campaigns, and high demand for Excalibur type unitary rounds better suited for engaging most common targets mean they are not going to mass produced in serious numbers.
Throw in the coming budget crunches and you see you won't have to to worry too much about how they perform
