Some posters mentioned on my local mil.forum that BTR-70 that was set up as target on firing range was completely shot-up by a squad using G-3-s and MAG .

On the other side the rather small silhouette is on plus-side and the infamous door/fuel-cells : if professionals (USAŽs ATF bureau) cannot even shoot a car into flames like they do in the movies , what odds are that the enemy uses tracer rounds and would be a threat to BMP-s doors ?
BTR-70 almost became my grave. It is a pure garbage.
