>The telescope was the victim of an act of vandalism in February 1970. A newly hired worker suffered a mental breakdown and brought a hand gun into the observatory. After firing one shot at his supervisor, the worker then fired the remaining rounds into the Primary Mirror. The holes effectively reduced the 107-inch (2.7 m) telescope to the equivalent of a 106-inch telescope (or about 2.5 centimeters less), but did not affect the quality of the telescope's images, only the amount of light it can collect.

JWST would probably remain a useful instrument even if every single mirror was hit. Even the damaged C3 mirror is still contributing to the image.

Define useful. We all know each hit degrades the quality even if you wish really REALLY hard that it doesn't.
