overrated ?

Were there already SLAP .50 rounds around in the Gulf War?

Anyway, Alpha, what do you consider as "ripping through"? At which distances and angles, on which parts... ?

AFAIK the Iraqis had mainly if not only BMP-1s, but the baselilne BMP-2 doesn't seem to be such an improvement in terms of steel armour.

And I don't see a way of comparing the PT-76 and BMP-1 in terms of design, since there are some 15 years between both; PT-76 is on the same basis as the BTR-50 though.
