After playing with the transports added in it seems that they are far too proof against small arms fire. This allows them to be used unrealistically aggressively. They act much like tanks do when they were emphatically not tanks.
The Universal (Bren) Carrier has between 8-10mm of armor. While the Sd.Kfz. 251 had 6-14.5mm of armor.
This armor thickness is proof against artillery splinters and small arms fire at range. However, at any decent distance this armor certainly is not 100% proof to rifle rounds that are being used.
Now not every round should penetrate, but at close range there should be a decent chance of penetrating the armor and killing the crew.
Here is a video showing small arms penetration. They tested 5.45, 5.56, and 7.62

5.56 and 7.62 were both capable of penetrating 12mm of steel plate.
