IIRC that F-16 was using inert training rounds.

EDIT---

My bad, live HE rounds.

Maybe I'm all wet here but I would think that 6 live HE rounds would've pretty much ripped the back end off the Chevy. The only "explosive" result I see is the size of the holes. And wouldn't the one that impacted behind the driver have doomed the guy? (That's a nice grouping on the other 5, BTW. Wink ) Maybe I'm givin' the HE too much credit?

That's what I thought, but the quote said different. I figured they were blue rounds.

blue rounds would have only left 20mm holes and that is it. this clearly had explosive and/or incendiary effects.
