Depends on where and how it hits.
Flak shells, the type used for antiaircraft fire, were commonly fused to explode at a given altitude, not on impact. The idea was to have the shell explode near the aircraft, then the shrapnel from the shell would spread out in all directions. If close enough to an airplane this would damage it, perhaps enough to bring it down.
A direct hit could blow the wing off a plane. On the other hand, there are instances on record where the gunners set the fuses for the wrong altitude, causing flak shells to shoot right through an airplane without exploding. In such a case the airplane might well make it home safely, provided nothing else went wrong.

How many bombs can the lancaster bomber carry?
The Lancaster bomber, a British heavy bomber used during World War II, could carry a maximum bomb load of approximately 14,000 pounds (around 6,350 kilograms). This capability allowed it to deploy a variety of bombs, including conventional explosives and specialized munitions like the "Tallboy" and "Grand Slam" bombs. The aircraft's design and versatility made it one of the most effective bombers of the war.
How many people could fit in a Lancaster bomber?
A Lancaster bomber typically had a crew of seven, which included the pilot, co-pilot, flight engineer, navigator, bomb aimer, and two gunners. In terms of passenger capacity, it could theoretically accommodate around 10-12 people if additional seating were arranged, but this would be highly impractical and not advisable due to the design and operational purpose of the aircraft. The focus of the Lancaster was primarily on its role as a heavy bomber, not for transporting large numbers of people.
