I wonder how long it will be till we get a news story about someone trying it for real.

I can see it now

Yes but the point I think the video was trying to make of course only visually since I dont know a lick of japanese. One shot two holes meant the sword cut the bullet in half....

been a chink of the bullet.(after impact)

it would be intrsting to see picture of the bullet, to see if it was sliced in two.

or

if that second hole was caused by a fragment of metal (either of the sword or bullet)

I think it\'s quite clear from the footage that the sword split the bullet and that the sword remained intact.

Yeah and at the proper velocity a tornado can hurl a stick right through you.

Anyway, this version of this kinda test sux, Ive seen one where they took a camera angle right on the side of the blade and you can just see it slide right in half. If i knew where i saw it id post it but sadly enough i have no clue where to find it.

Kind of cool to watch but I already knew that steel will destroy lead.

But why use that caliber? How about Kavelar(sp?) piercing bullets? Explosive heads? Just thinking. Probably would be the same anyway.

exactly, set up a slow motion camera and show the slug hitting the blade and splitting

no more articles.  this is basically another pull from a well-known car forum\'s OT section

What did they expect the bullet to do?  Shatter the sword into pieces?
