Dave, you aren't really that simple minded.
For future reference I never brought a chopper home with more than 176 bullet holes.
I call bullshit on this. I have worked on Helicopters for nearly 30 years. I have flown in helicopters in combat missions. I have seen Helicopters hit by small arms fire, I have also repaired them. 176 rounds to one Helicopter is going to mean at the very least one catastrophic hit statistically. I am going to assume your so called experience was in Vietnam. Which now ups the likely hood of great catastrophic hits. I have seen some pretty shot up helicopters most of them belonging to the 160th. Not one was even close to 176 rounds in it. 176 rounds into even the largest of Helicopter cabins CH53 would result in casualties and more likely deaths. Not to mention bringing the aircraft down. Not saying you haven't been shot at or in fact hit, however I have a very hard time believing 176 times.
