Balloons Outpace Rifle Fire In Berlin Height Tests
Experiments in Berlin tested balloon immunity to rifle fire. Captive balloons shot at from 15 to 45 degrees showed that at 600 to 2,000 yards height they could be hit once in six shots, while at 3,000 yards they were completely safe. Even when struck, gas bag damage was minimal and allowed continued flight for hours before landing.
