The name ‘Golden BB’ referred to the fact that every aircraft is vulnerable to an impact by even a tiny object, that hit the right spot at the right time and with enough velocity. The origin of the myth was that even a BB pellet could knock down an aircraft, if the BB flew in an open cockpit window and struck the pilot in the neck. Some helicopters have a single ‘Jesus pin’ holding the rotor to the mast; a round striking that pin could cause the helicopter to crash.
