Re: hits into the prop-arc
If we discount type of damage that simply removes (part of the) blade, it is probably difficult to quantify. I have no hard data, but I can image that even damage from a(n un)lucky single rifle caliber round might generate enough vibration to cause critical damage to the engine.
