If both the firer and the target have Los to the afv in the building it's a hindrance.

OK so NOW I'm getting lost. If an AFV/WRECK is IN a building AND is inherent terrain, would this hinder down the hex side? Or if the AFV/WRECK is in bypass on the north side of the hex is it a hinderance on the south side, it is inherent after all?
This sort of thing could really mess up fire lanes, not to mention what it's doing to my head!
To this part about bypass, no.

B.6 INHERENT TERRAIN: Certain terrain depictions (orchard, crag, graveyard, shellholes, etc.) and counter contents of a hex (SMOKE, Bridge, rubble, AFV , wreck) [EXC: Bypass AFV/Wreck (D9.4)]...

D9.4 (again):
"...it does not apply if that wreck/AFV is in Bypass and the LOS does not touch the hexside being bypassed..."

ROF 1 = one extra shot. ROF 3 = 3 extra shots max.
Some rule changes that people champion--say, lessening the vulnerability for exiting a Foxhole--have a possibility of affecting scenario balance.

This one--limiting ROF tears--does not IMO. It simply limits more extreme outcomes, outcomes that are unlikely anyway, but which could tilt an individual playing of a game toward one player.

Don't recall ever seeing anything THAT sever! Good for the record books.
No effect? Must have been a 50mm Mortar? The entire contingent of your force must have been doing nothing but toting ammo for that gun!!

I would have generated 5 hot snipers and then broke it on the last shot.

HMG in steeple with 9-2 leader, firing out of Strength 2 WP [edit: I misremembered the details so I consulted my log; corrected account follows]:
at target in stone building at 9 hexes with one Mist hindrance - a 6 up 5 shot. It was exciting but not fulfilling...kept waiting for something to happen that never did. Kind of like a date as a teenager.

Thats crazy! I think I would have taken the leader counter (real one) and burned it in front of all the other counters to teach them a lesson. Hard to burn electrons though

Assuming it was a 0 leader based on the fact that he got no results with 4s, a 6 +5 shot means you can only get a PTC on a 3. That's a pretty low odds shot.

What a strange rule. Were there petitions to forbid counter clipping in response to it? Was the controversy smaller, or larger, than the IFT/IIFT one? I need to know!
It had to cross the artwork of the vehicle, but IIRC vehicles were not drawn to scale relative to each other so you could have an FT-17 wreck being the same size as a Tiger I wreck. It's been 37 years since I last played SL-GI so my recall is not exact.
