I'm surprised you find that strange. It appears normal to me.
In the same way that if I crashed a car into a brick wall 100 times at roughly the same speed, I wouldn't be surprised if the wall sometimes fell over and sometimes didn't.

That depents on the size of the car and the wall.

If the car is big enough the wall will fall over 100 out of 100 times.

Well, yes. Making no assumptions about wall/car size, I wouldn't be surprised if the wall always fell over, never fell over or only sometimes fell over.

I wasn't trying to imply that wings should sometimes fall off or not fall off when hit with 30mm rounds. I don't have an opinion about how much damage should be done.
I just meant that different test results under roughly the same test conditions in general, don't surprise me.

Agreed. I was going to say something similar.
