Try to guess what happens, I bet you wont be right. Katana Vs Machine Gun

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XY7li8Lb1eg Katana vs machine gun, make a prediction on what happens, and tell me if you guessed it right. I know i didnt. Go to 4:20 to see it happen

That was hardly surprising. .50 Cal rounds are the size of dry-erase markers.

how is that a suprise unless you get your ballistics data from anime?

nice they are always up for crazy stuff to do

.... A soft pistol bullet does not equate to a full metal jacket 50 caliber machine gun going atat like 1500 to 2500 meters per second..

......What a surprise.. A large calibre machine gun designed to go through modern day armor plating can break a small sword!sSubZerOo

that's pretty bonking fast. sure you aren't mixing m/s with fps? m/s would be around 900

I'm not sure what this is trying to prove. Even if one slices a bullet, wouldn't the fragments still have sufficient force to kill the sword wielder?

[QUOTE="FPSunionOWNS"] In the beginning of the video the katana splits pistol bullets in half. so i thought the machine gun would be no diffrentFirebird-5

:x I don't have common sense.

That was awkwardly symbolic of Japan's transition from feudalism to industrialism.

Exactly. A big .50 calibre (lead) bullet hitting the very thin, sharp (metal) edge of a sword? Of course the bullet is going to shatter. I don't see what was so amazing.

Hahah this is a hilarious clip. They just love to make it dramatic. I love how they show the slow-mo sword cutting several of the bullets together with some grand jrpg boss battle music (it's actually a good song) and then finish the video of with some sad melody. If you'd just listen to the video it sounds more than the last ten minutes of some rpg game rather than an experiment. The lovely dramatic music for these dull and trivial scenes just makes me laugh out loud.

.50 BMG rounds vs. Katana....yup, didn't need to even finish that to know what would happen. The Germans and Japanese learned to fear the Mah Deuce because their armored halftracks and even light tanks would be turned into swiss cheese by the round, and those had around 1-2" of armor.

The result: Both the katana and the .50 cal won. The katana split a few bullets before meeting its demise due to being overwhelmed. It would be like a single, master samurai taking on 100 men at once. He would get some, but would fall to being outnumbered. . . I like how at the end they had the sad, dramatic war music playing in the background as they showed the sword winning and then breaking in slo-mo. It reminded me of the music and scene in Platoon when Willem Dafoe was getting shot by a million rounds but still had enough to reach up towards the helicopter before dying.

Fake. Bullets can be deflected quite easily with a sword.SolidSnake35

At first I thought the machine gun would win, but when you said I wouldn't be right, I switched to the katana.

Well played.

Thats a cheaply made, probably "rat-tail" tang stainless steel garbage katana. The one against the machine gun was a masterfully crafted authentic weapon. No comparison.

Edited to add: And the guy handling it was an idiot for not treating a weapon with respect.

dont bring a knife to a gun fight?

I'm not suprised. People, anime is not a historical representation ofweapons. Japanese weapons have no special powers, M'kay.

Yeah. Hardly surprising.

i think this video is fake because everytime a bullet hits it makes a perfect throwing star shadowkbpyrokb

NOOOO! The Katana was amazing. :P
