It did on almost all Japanese planes during the war.

Yeah, hundreds of rounds into a 60+ year old prop plane. Not a great comparison.

Have you ever seen the "hole tests" performed on modern jetliners, hmm?

I was just making a point. Japanese planes had no armor at all. one shot into the tanks or engine and they became flaming tniderboxes.

However what about explosive decompression if said jetliner is at altitude?

Although personally I no longer fly commercially. I prefer the train.
