Do you know how many planes finish missions during wartime with tons of bullet holes? Doesn’t really hurt anything unless it goes through a hydraulic line (or pilot) or something and all that stuff has multiple redundancies anyway.

I will bet you that none of the planes you describe were pressurized, because you breach a pressurized aircraft hull and it’s quite likely to go boom even from a bullet hole if it hits in the right place.

Are you talking about pressurized aircraft of a configuration somewhat close to an airliner at 30,000 feet plus?
