Ranged weapons against Warblers?

[Marmalade]

Kinda something that I assumed when first seeing these freaks fly into the air, but... what if ranged weapons could hurt these guys?

Seeing the warblers be a constant threat looming up in the sky (yet not completely off screen) made me wonder if it'd be nice to let ranged weapons access the Y axis for a bit and be the ONLY items capable of actually harming them.
(Even though I definitely prefer them over the Terramites, I want them to still feel pain)
