There has been a bit of a furore over here concerning the new US
requirement to airlines to supply air marshals when requested. The
concern is mainly over the possible puncture of a pressure cabin.
What do readers think is the result of decompression via a bullet hole?

Unless it hits electrical or hydraulic systems pretty much nothing. Score
it as a miss. A bullet hole will not decompress an airplane. A hatch leak
will probably leak more and can be easily overcome by the pressurization
system.
