ReindeerFlotilla:
Given Bubbles's specifications, She's certainly Anti-tank rifle proof.
On the other hand, Hannelore is equipped to take her out.
osaka:
And if she appeared to Hanners as she was today, the orbital bombardment app would surely come into play indeed.

Fun fact: The penetrator of the M829 APFSDS has a caliber of only 27mm. It pierces half a meter (20in) of steel plating with ease. That metallo-ceramic armor of hers must be some seriously advanced stuff.

I'm pretty sure that QC-verse technology is a good couple of decades in advance of real world stuff. Didn't the Vespavenger's warbot have lasers as a standard weapon? We've only just started getting them right for weapons applications in the last five years in the real world and they're still the size of sub-compact cars. Pintsize's original chassis had a combat-rated laser that was the size of a USB drive! Infantry lasers and accelerator guns are probably quite common at superpower military level.
So, yeah, I'm pretty sure that Bubbles in full combat rig is probably harder to stop than an armoured Hummer as well as being faster, more agile and probably able to engage multiple targets in a time frame that would be impossible for a human soldier. She's also apparently not entirely happy with that past.

That would be classed as a 120mm APFSDS round. You use the diameter of the sabot, not the penetrator.
The 25mm APFSDS rounds I'm familiar with have 14.5mm penetrators with 10-15cm long penetrators. What's most important is length, not width. The M829 has various lengths from 63cm to 80cm in the hottest rounds. Muzzle velocity on small calibre guns is typically around 1400 m/sec, up to 1700 m/sec on the hottest 120mm rounds.
A reasonable rule of thumb is that penetration of armour is about equal to projectile length at normal ranges. Complex composites such as the famed "Chobham" armour can set up ripples in the rod that effectively reduce its length. And I can't say more, only talk about generalities from open source literature.
