Edit infantry fire geometry to stop bullets

[icewindo 29]

Hey dudes,

do you know if infantry units support altering the fire geometry so that parts of the unit will stop bullets?

Basically I want this box to stop bullets: (using LeftHand Selection)

I followed the BIKI as described here (http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Damage) and added new HitPoint Entries (HitShield):

			class HitPoints
	{
		class HitHead
		{
			armor = 0.7;
			material = -1;
			name = "head_hit";
			passThrough = 1;
		};
		class HitBody
		{
			armor = 0.8;
			material = -1;
			name = "body";
			passThrough = 1;
		};
		class HitHands
		{
			armor = 0.5;
			material = -1;
			name = "hands";
			passThrough = 1;
		};
		class HitLegs
		{
			armor = 0.5;
			material = -1;
			name = "legs";
			passThrough = 1;
		};
		class HitShield
		{
			armor = 3;
			material = 51;
			name = "shield";
			passThrough = 1;
		};
	};

I then added this hitpoint to my unit and added the box you see in the screenshot also to the fire geometry lod and named it "Component14" +added it to the LeftHand selection.

Then I've experimentated with setting "passThrough" to 0/1 , higher "armor" and "material" to different settings but each time I fired at the added box the unit would take damage and be killed. So the new fire geometry box registers hits but I want to set it so that firing at the box doesn't lead to damage of the unit but it just stops the bullets.

Is this even possible or am I just missing something?

Maybe it might also be done by creating a custom rucksack model and then give the rucksack model a fire geometry ?
