Army reveals that the XM25 has been in combat already

Good rule of thumb is that they're going to be at least a foot thick, if it's a grape hut significantly more. But then again, no man-portable weapon is effective against a grape hut.

Alright, that makes sense then. But if the round detonates too soon over the wall, I imagine that would reduce the damage it does. I also figured that the width of the wall is going to vary considerably in any given area and firefight.

Then again, I'm assuming that Alliant Techsystems and H&K have already thought about this, interviewed GIs who have been to Afghanistan, and carefully estimated the average thickness of mud walls. Whereas I'm mostly talking out of my ass.
