Try hitting the PAV with an RPG if it is small and moving!

If an object moves some with a blast it's surface does not buckle as easily as if it were held in place. Look at blast confinement...

1. Go cart style frame with large off-road wheels rather than ATV frame to keep profile lower.

2. Light armor only needs to stop 5.56 & 7.62x39. The...
