Holy shit it cut the bullet right in half!!!!!!!!

Cool video but remember that most bullets are just made of soft lead. You'd get the same result hitting an ordinary chefs knife edge on.

The best part of this video is the fantastically overwrought, epic music at the end, as it cuts to a shot of a sunrise.

This is different from another vid I saw, where a machine gun was used. And I can't find the machine gunning video right now. Odd.

I can just see Uma Thurman in a 'kill bill'/Tarantino moment, swing a sword at a bullet shot at her and the two fragments hit two other opponents coming up behind her.

I can see Uma Thurman also in a 'kill bill'/Tarantino moment, she is wearing a skin tight yellow jumpsuit and running around.

Good point invictus.

Hell just going into a body and running into tissue boundaries can shear bullets. Lead must be very plastic at extreme energies.

Try that with a steel projectile. One ruined blade.

Still cool though.

ya but when u think about it..the guy wit that sword wuld be running at the guy wit the gun. lots of things can happen like..damn cant think of anything rite now. but did u c wat the gun did to the concrete block? u gotta c that one guy slicing the arrow in air fired RITE AT HIM! it shuld be still on this site. things look eiser than they r :-'

Krupo - the vid with the machine gun is http://www.videosift.com/story.php?id=4046

Isn't that the same program? Looks like the same guy as well.

Then why didnt Tom Cruise win in The Last Samurai???

The katana has long been considered the highest form of steel-bladed melee weapons ever created. The Japanese have one in a museum folded (rumored, anyway) 10,000 times. Only the Onin War-era katana were considered junk, with the rest having been shown and rumored to have help commit amazing feats through history (one historical account has Miura Yoshimoto using his own katana to cut off his OWN head in 1516). Either way, a cool video and worthy of note.

wikipedia does not agree with you Devlin,

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katana

"Contrary to popular belief, continued folding will not create a "super-strong" blade; once impurities are burnt off and the carbon content homogenized, further folding offers little benefit and will gradually burn out the carbon, leading eventually to a softer steel less able to hold an edge. The number of folds varied from sword to sword, but those with more than about a dozen folds are uncommon, and authentic swords with more than two dozen folds are completely unknown. A blade folded 12 times will have more than 4,000 'layers' underneath the initial blade to begin with, and 20 folds would produce a blade with over a million layers. Beyond this number, the molecular structure of the blade is such that further folding would most likely serve no further purpose. Even before this point, more layers does not equal a better sword; though folding does burn off impurities and homogenize the blade, a very even and clean composition is obtained early in the process, and control of carbon content has a much greater effect on the blade's functionality. Thus, the best results were usually obtained at 8-10 folds."

amazing.
