Assuming that you hit the mask the bullet would probably go through it killing it anyway.

Shooting the life support crap on their backs would be interesting, though... unless that's just the shape of thier backs.

still would be cool to see the explosion and a burning grunt. plus if there are other grunts close enough the explosion could rupture their tanks causing the whole group to go up in flames. this is one of those things to where strict realism would affect the gameplay because one good shot or grenade could just wipe out a whole group making it too easy.

yeah, you could wipe out heaps in one go... but on the other hand you could wipe yourself out shooting in the back when your to close...

It'd still be cool to have the tanks as somehow interactable in combat, say, "spitting gouts of flame in a wide arc" (from the books) but not necessarily combusting. Maybe just make a SMALLER explosion, one rivaling that of a mass of needles stuck in a body detonating. Still damaging, even to yorself up close, but not DEVASTATING like a frag or something. Not able to whipe out a buncha grunts, but still providing some collateral damage.
