This happens fairly often.

Depends on where it hits.

Airframe - doesn't matter. Might make a dent.

Windscreen - doesn't matter unless it makes a hole and injures the pilot, or the thing gets spattered all over and you can't see out (latter case you'd go around, on instruments, and hope it falls off)
