I've seen ads for them?  I have even thought about ordering some.  If they're
better then the silent death sheets, I'll have to get some.

Spoil sport.  They're easy to add.  Danger space of half the map, don't miss
very often, destroy what they hit. (-: (-:

I know it isn't realistic, but what about something along the lines of battle
tech or SFB where you color in lots of circles as your armour is spent? :-)

I think some kind of saving throw would be a better alternative, or maybe
some form of damage reduction based upon the degree of penetration (kind of
like MT personal combat or silent death damage reduction factors).  This is
a smaller leap of faith for the players than the fill the boxes methods.
