yeah, like when they shot frozen chickens thru a Cherokee windshield and
applied the results to airliners. Brilliant.
But they did do a mostly reasonable job with piercing the skin of a
pressurized fuselage with a 9mm. The shaped charge part was hokey.
Give them credit for noticing that the cherokee windshield wasn't rated
for birdstrikes, albeit after destroying a few windshields.
