If a bullet/cannon hits the propeller blade, is there any damage?

Gents,

 

I'm aware you can actually hit the individual spinning propeller blades, which is really impressive in itself. Wondering if a hit to the propeller blade has any effect like an 'engine damage' RPM fluctuation or anything?

In my adventures as a daring but incompetent low level pilot, I frequently manage to brush treetops with my prop. I've seen everything from instant prop break and engine seizure to severe vibration and rpm fluctuations to getting an 'engine damaged' notification and marginal loss of speed with no other real consequences. 

 

Admittedly this is terrain damage rather than projectile damage but it does seem to indicate that different states of prop damage do exist...

But does it make a sound?

It looks definetily impressive:

Now THAT also looks like a very interesting and cool museum to visit! What a neat display. The ones in the background look intriguing as well.

I can only recommend it! it is worth ervery minute...so much cool stuff to see there, WW1 planes, WW2 planes, a huge railroad section, all the cool cars and tons of technics...whenever you plan a trip to Berlin, don`t miss that! ?

 

P.S.: No, i don`t work there ?

It is! They have a small section of a Fw 200 cabin, a full blown He 162, a Wasserfall missile and some other interesting stuff.
