Although techincally correct this example misses out 1 point. You should
really subtract the armour value from the inital 8M as this is the 'true'
power of the bullets hitting the car. If this value goes to 0 then the bullets
bounce off a car. (Btw this rule is found in the errata)

Ie a car with 9 points of armour and body 5 is attacked by an 8M burst.
9 - 8 = -1, no damage, bullets bounce off. With Jeremy's system you get
11 - 8 = 3, the car still has to resist a 3M burst.

Phill.
