hits into the prop-arc

Good evening experts

Today, I've seen some German gun-camera footage, FW 190 and
Bf 110 v/s B-17 and B-24.
It is noted, that always a considerable amount of rounds from the fighters hit and blasted on the blades of the pro-arc. In particular by attacks from the rear.
My question is, how many hits, in particular by explosive ammo (20mm and 30mm) could tolerate such a prop until it didn't work proper anymore ?.

Thank you very much

Horst Weber
