As far as teenagers with RPGs you should quit towing that line. The reality and your strawman version are vastly different.
You are correct Jeff, Fhruitloop's 'pea shooter theory' is as empty as all his other false claims and theories. The word from those who received the Bor CV-22s back after being hit by a deluge of fire and recovering 500 miles was that each received 40-50 rds, much of it 'large caliber' aka 12mm/.50 cal in the belly. Not sure what the damage to the aircraft actually was, but clearly the heavy 'triple redundant systems' onboard the Osprey were worth their weight in gold on this mission. Although still classified as "small arms," here are 12mm and 50 cal "pee shooters" being fired:





Additional Note: The four injured soldiers that were onboard the aircraft were ALL US Navy Seals.
I'm sure they'd have a good idea where to stick FH's pea shooter.
