Lol

So this...is where the strenght of the Katana fails...

They even laugh after shooting such a beautiful weapon to pieces

Oh well at least some of the bullets shattered with it

[TwoScoopsOfViking]

it cut some of the bullets in half. You'll see it when the bullet strikes the blade there is a flash or shimmer when the bullet comes apart. Really does show the strength of the blade.

[Seijitai]

Yep, especially facing a .50 !

[Dermeister]

If it took a .50 to shread that blade u can hold ur head high my friends .. lol

[Vyktrius]

Don't hold your heads too high. I know the strength of a well made katana, but do you realize how hot that bullet must be. It would splinter on impact of a human body not to mention an edged piece of steel.

Is your only purpose in this sub-forum to pop our Samurai-loving Bubbles? Do you have proof to back up your claim of a .50 bullet splintering on impact with a human body?

[Dermeister]

im sorry to burst your bubles guys but a .50 cal can do alot of damage to vehicles go through bulet proof vests and mess up ur hole house.. and your car and a plane.. even a katana,i know i work with guns how ever i never tried to shoot a katana but i seen what the .50 can do in person.. it causes alot of messes lets leave it at that.

i had and have no doupt in my mind the .50 can totally mess up a katana heck id bet u my wallet.. hrem(with no cards or cash in it) lol that even a voley of nato 7.62 put in a c6 machinegun couled mess up the katana aswell them things take down helicopters and vehicles and houses thats what theyr made for to make a cone of flying bulets and grail an erea of bulets

I shot a few +- 200 rounds with a .50 at a target 200 meter away from me (it was an abandod car ) and when i checked in there was not much left of that car.
By the way .It is normally forbidden to shoot with a .50 on humans
(conventions of Geneve)

[Wundai]

lol really? forbidden, I had no idea

Ahhh, what a waste of a precious weapon.
I hate guns, because you can kill someone by range without fighting him.
Thats not the warriors weapon.

If the Ottoman never used guns, we the arab empire will still live.

Dying with a sword is honor, Dying with a gun is child.

Even some of the bullets were shatered.

There is a large difference between a soldier (today) and a warrior(i.e. feudal knight or samurai). Individually, the warrior is more skillful, but this kind of training doesn't work with today's modern weapons. Dermeister, where exactly are you stationed out of? Have you seen any action in Afghansitan yet? My prayers go out every day for our fighting men and women.

[Dermeister]
