There's plenty of pressure to go around.

There's enough pressure to go around - until you start ventilating the pressure body - then you don't have nearly enough pressure. Nothing like an explosive decompression to really make your day.

This was a good one. The passenger thankfully was an enormous man who plugged the hole and saved the day (the rapid depressurization sucked him into the hole, others held onto him so he wouldn't get pulled out). Bet he had a bad headache afterwards, tho.

Countless thread bits on FR debunk your thesis that bullets cause explosive depressurization. The Hawaii incident was not a result of bullets--it was a structure defect.

It's possible that full-auto .50cal fire would create a big problem. Ban full-auto .50cals on airplanes.
