Effect of Gunshots on a Balloon
In experiments described by A Delmard and R Blaythwaite in February Pall Mall Magazine, a Lebel rifle shot at a balloon from 560 feet penetrated only below the equator and caused little effect. Even many shots did not rapidly deflate it. A 7 pounder shell fired at 1800 feet could not reach the balloon, but if hole below the equator the lift remained largely unchanged. A gore split near the upper valve caused initial rapid descent, then wind re-inflated and it sailed to earth.
