Actually that is exactly the opposite of what some Swiss tests showed.
They put barricades right in front of trench, but instead of trying to hit into the trench they fired right upon the stuff in front of it. Ammo was 7.5x55mm Swiss.
When they went to check, the targets in the trench were perforated from the debris.
