Regarding firearms aboard airliners, I hope that FAMs use frangible rounds. Those do not have a conventional projectile, but rather are designed to avoid penetration of adjacent structures. The fuselage of an airliner is more fragile than sheetrock or plaster, but frangible rounds should not lead to catastrophic failure of the fuselage.
