  On the first I dont know, because I am a cowardly player. None of my soldiers
ever get hit. I resurrect them in a restore last game operation.

What I do know is that on terror mission in enlclosed space. Shooting the Drone
in an area with a grated roster between levels, the drone will not explode. I
would say because there is no resistance where the Drone falls. The explosion
will be useless without resistance to the blast, if you get my drift.
