I hope that by "armed" you don't mean firearms. Putting a bullet through the hull of a pressurized cabin is usually a bad idea.

Not at all, pressure would equalize and the masks would drop from the ceiling. The plane's structure can easily withstand the hole.
your concern was raised on a few interviews w/security personnel and each one said the same thing, that a bullet hole/s in the plane is not fatal like one would think.
El Al, the Israeli airline has had an armed marshall on everyone of their flights for years.
