and let's be thankful that the round didn't pierce the skin of the a/c or break a window in the f/d as then you gonna have explosive decompression
More pressurized air escapes during the flight than you realize. a .40 caliber hole would not do a thing.

Watch the TV show mythbusters. Wait till you see how big a hole they had to make to get a decompression.
