Well no, but it can usually take a few hits before being depleted; and it's only after it's depleted that you're in danger of getting injured/killed. Like how Weiss was "just blown away" by the Atlesian Paladins main guns, which also blasted holes in the pavement(Yes, I am aware that she blocked it, but don't think that nullified the damage from the blast - just reduced it a little).

Not that I'm saying they could have taken tons of hits - after all, an Ursa Major took out most of Jaunes Aura in just two hits. I imagine Melodic Cudgel has similar(or better) ability to knock down a first-year hunters Aura.
