A collateral attack is the side effect of another attack. The other
attack is what causes the residual, not the collateral attack. There is
no contradiction between D.8 and A8.2.

A7.307 adds that a vehicle may be attacked by small arms even if there
are no vulnerable PRC just to place resid, which is the incorporation of
this Q&A:

A7.1 & A8.1 May a unit use Small Arms (or
non-ordnance MG) to DFF on the IFT at a
moving BU, CT AFV for the sole purpose of
laying down a Fire Lane or leaving Residual
FP?
A. Yes. {97} 

Interpreting D.8 the way you are would mean that resid is left only if
there are no vulnerable PRC!

>Right.  It doesn't happen.

A thrown DC can destroy an AFV. That would leave resid. What is murkier
to me is what kind of resid is placed if no TK DR is made.

I do agree that you must pre-designate the AFV as the target during DFF
[EXC: Armored Assault], at least in the absence of a Q&A saying
otherwise.
