lol so we explain how you are wrong, clearly and completely, and we are the walking facepalms?
Shooting down an airliner is actually pretty hard. When the Russians shot KAL-007 it stayed aloft for like, 20 minutes, and that was with an air-to-air missile.
Says the person that apparently gets his knowledge of science and engineering from action movies.

For those who aspire to live in a high cost, high tax, big government place, our nation and the world offers plenty of options. Vermont, Canada and Venezuela all offer you the opportunity to live in the socialist, big government paradise you long for. –Senator Rubio
In movies, bad guys can take over an airplane and start shooting up the place. Wouldn't the plane explode or depressurize as soon as the bullet pierced its skin?
And it has absolutely nothing to do with military aircraft. I don't know why you are hanging your hat on that tangent.

“Depending on the size of the hole, explosive decompression can occur,” says Nihad Daidzic, a professor of aviation at Minnesota State University who has witnessed simulations of depressurization. “Within seconds you’ll get condensation. The pressure and the temperature will drop very quickly. Debris will be flying around, and people can get sucked out.”
The Discovery show Mythbusters took up this issue of depressurization a few years ago and disproved the myth (often seen in movies) that a hole in a window or the fuselage will automatically cause people to get sucked through. Again, it all comes down to size and immediacy: if the hole is big enough and people are close enough, anything can happen.
Firing a gun inside a plane (a pistol round) is enough of a danger that could result in an explosive decompression... possibly leading to a larger structural failure.

If you shot a pistol round through the body of the aircraft when it was at altitude the oxygen masks would drop and the passengers would put them on and everyone would be fine.

A .50 cal round would go in one side, out the other, unless it hit some critical component it would do no damage and everything it could hit exists at least in duplicate.
You'd have a tiny window at takeoff to shoot the plane and bring it down. You'd have to disable both engines or kill both pilots.
I don't even know what sort of moronic pedantry you are engaging in now.
I'm trying to get you to admit that you were wrong, Ben. You've gone from hand wringing about pistol rounds piercing the skin of the plan to pointing out that 5ft holes in a plane can indeed cause explosive decompression. It's just sad to see you reduce yourself to that BK.

This is one possible scenario.
But I wouldn't want to be on a plane and find out for myself.
This might be the dumbest I've ever seen you on these boards. You are really under the impression that an attack involving .50 rounds being fired at a plane would absolutely not result in a catastrophic situation, aren't you?
How do you manage to even complete basic tasks without the assistance of a trained professional making sure you don't kill yourself?
