Do assault rifles do "any" damage to vehicles?

[partyboy]

How many shots from an AR to destroy a tank, a humvee, or a truck ?

Just a rough guess, I'm new so not sure if there's any point in shooting vehicles

It take's approximately 2000 7.62 (ar) rounds to destroy vehicles. You will need the vehicle to stay stationary and a fob with an ammo box to supply this amount. Good luck and godspeed.

So you're telling me bullets do damage to vehicles?

The only thing that kills armor is the US LAW and RPG HEAT rounds.

A grenade launcher can destroy a pickup in around 3 rounds.

it's not GTA... lol
even in BF, rifle wont hurt tank or truck

[Lord Bailey]

Heavy Armor such as APCs and BTRs no.

Light armor like pick up trucks yes, But it takes ALOT of bullets to do so.

Most people have never spent the time like I have to test it.

HMGs, Mortars, mines, and IEDS do as well

I see people shooting to trucks but aside of that, not that much. I think people usually just shot to supress if anyone comes out or take a lucky kill.
Also granade launchers dont do anything either.

False, I have tested with the US GL and it takes 3 shots on a tech, 6 shots on a BDRM or MTLB and 15 shots on a BTR

That is a bug because FRAG round for RPG packs a bigger punch than a grenade launcher.

I am not so sure, the RUS GL fires exclusivly Frag rounds, but the US GL fires all purposes rounds AKA HE shells, maybe a attempt by the devs to even the playing field since the LAT kit does not have frag rounds on the US, besides it is in the game so at the moment it is a valid strategy

[HotPocketChris]

not heavy armor (stryker, BTR, etc.) but light armored vehicles, like trucks from insurgents, it does with enough bullets. usually, you dont need AT for going against insurgents since you can shoot the driver and gunner out

[trolley]

They do, actually, but very little damage.

You can damage trucks and techies (the insurgent pickups) with 5.56mm and above (takes a sh*t load of rounds to destroy them, though.)

MRAPs, BTRs, Strykers etc. do not take any damage.

US doesnt produce FRAG rockets for LAWs (neither LAWs but that is not the point) so maybe balance reasons ? But every armored vehicle (Strykers BTRs and MTLBs) is made so it can withstand hand grenades (a bit more punch than riffle base grenade launchers) and small arms fire (up to .50 cal aka 12.7mm) so you may be right but i will do some tests and get back to you :)

[SloubouMilousevic]

So i did some research on GL used by US and RUS. Both use same type of ammo the HE Frag shells that can be fused to explode on contact or in mid air if you time it right. Both of them can penetrate <7mm of armor of soft cover aka wood structures reliably and up to 15mm soft cover from time to time. So that means only fragments not the explosion. But with explosion added it is up to 30mm of soft cover and 5mm of hard cover. Both side APCs (even though BTR80 is IFV but that is details) have 13mm+ armor so it shouldnt be like it is now. If you find something out please tell me i love learning new stuff about military armament.

Small arms can only deal damage to technicals and logis.
