Looks awesome, but I'm reminded of something I read ages ago that planes occasionally land in the USA with bullet holes in them and its "normal" according to ATC. How would something LTA deal with that?

Airships handle damage from small arms fire pretty well. The holes are small and pressure differential is low so leakage is limited. In armed conflicts it was necessary to use incindiery or explosive ammunition to shoot them down.
