Dude, it's mythbusters. These guys are freaking brilliant and they
will cover this thing from all angles. I can assure you.
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.
And frightening. I think the results of the "experiment" caught
everyone off-guard. I know I for one have resolved to NEVER, EVER
place a shaped charge against the wall of an aircraft I'm flying on.
