I know we didn't rely on our french VABs one bit regarding protection, and I believe it's the same or even worse for the M-113. I'd say at least the BMP has a lower profile, IMO in comparison it's better than the others. Now is it really safer outside than inside is another question

All APCs were intended to do is protect the troops from shrapnel caused by nearby artillery bursts. They were never intended to protect them from mines or direct fire weapons.
