The guys sealed up a junked out cabin, pressurized it, then fired 9mm

One factor that they neglected to account for is that many airliners fly
at speeds approaching Mach 0.85. I'd have to see a section of aluminum
skin with a bullet-hole in it staying intact in a transonic wind-tunnel
that was running about that speed before I put much stock in their
results.
