EDIT: Y'know, awkward question. Aircraft are generally built of light materials, yes? So if a Crystallis gun was fired at the floor of this airship, wouldn't it just puncture through the ship (assuming it doesn't hit anything substantial like the motors)?

If we take that into account, it's surprising that nobody on the lower deck have been shot yet.

Much more important question: is this aircraft light enough to float on water?

Because the word 'aircraft' sounds a lot like 'witchcraft' to me. Beneath the gold, the Bitter Steel.

That's a silly question. What we should be asking is whether or not the airship will still be floatworthy AFTER a crash landing on the water.

'Cause, lets face it. I'm not liking the bridge crew's life expectancy.

Something something anime magic world.

Phew, glad I could answer your questions.

To actually answer, though: No, the aircraft is made of solid enough materials that the bullet would not go through the floor.

As for floating on water? Probably not. It's designed to take advantage of what's essentially magic tech to fly, and that doesn't keep it afloat, especially if it's not working. And if it's working, there's no reason the ship would be in the water anyways. Done in by the dubious doings of destiny.

The only way to be sure is to weigh it against a duck. Beneath the gold, the Bitter Steel.

Now for the important question: Is it watertight? I mean, I bet nobody's thought to use these airships as a submarine before!
