I don’t think M1 has anything to do with the topic except as an advertisement. Title could literally be “MacBook Air takes a direct shrapnel hit” (air is relevant since it’s the thinness that matters) and it would be just as effective of a title.

Apple should switch him to a new model without charge (money, not battery). The advertisement can't get any better.

Why would they though? They already got plenty advertisement without paying for it.

Because it’s nothing to them and a lot to some Of their market. Also, it would make Trump squirm.

Can a shrapnel hit be direct?
