Zwoti would love this

Ever wondered what would happen if a ninja sword (katana) stood up against a gun? Check this out...

This is what happens when the katana takes on a machine-gun...

Groovy! You know, in a scientific experiment we need to know the following: what was the grade/level/quality of the katanas? No matter what, they're still a pretty bad ass sword, very well made.

Thanks for the treat, V.

Very cool, I've always wanted the Mythbusters to test "slicing" a bullet. No need now!

So zwoti would get his clock cleaned if he went against a .50 cal. machine gun.




I've lost much respect for our silent mod today:(

.50 cal machine guns can put hole in an engine block, and the same round fired out of a barret sniper rifle can go through tank armor. I'm impressed a katana can deflect a pistol round.

Your welcome, H. I am pretty sure the quality of the katana was top-notch, and it did very well in holding its own against the machine gun too, for as long as it did. If you look at the slo-mos carefully, even when getting split by a random bullet, the katana cuts THAT bullet to bits too!

Now THAT's remarkable, indeed.

Eh, Zwoti uses his katana like a Star Wars lightsaber. He is Obi Wan and Yoda combined. I am pretty sure he ll deflect all the bullets of the machine-gun in no time.

Speak the truth, I am...hmm!:cool:

So am I. The pistols aren't a match for the katana, although I would be very interested to see it go against a sniper rifle bullet, or a .45 Smith & Wesson Magnum (though I am pretty much certain the Magnum doesn't stand a chance, either).
