Yeeesss, now try that same with a .50 BMG , or better yet, hit it with a longsword and see what will happen. Those millions upon million of folds will be pretty useless.
Before I check I want to try to predict the future. Someone is going to post the video from Mythbusters where the shot the **** out of a sward with Maw Duce.
can someone explain why this faggot is getting thumbs? the POST is just showing a katana stopping a bullet, its not trying to say a sword will always split a bullet.
Man, forget .50BMG; do it with any jacketed bullet at all! This was done with a solid lead .45. If they'd done it with a copper-jacketed .45 round, it would not have had this effect.
They folded it a maximum of 7 times. Any more than that, even with the ********* iron in the world, and you end up with a flopy piece of crap that you can't do **** with.
It can be argued that folding it 7 times has the folds compound so that it's 2^7 or 128 but really it wasn't actually 'folded' in the technical sense.
A sword made of high strength alloy steel, properly forged and hardened with heat treatment.
vs.
A bulled made of ******* lead which is one of the softest metal on the earth.
Should we be surprised with the result?
I'd like to see this with full metal jacket bullet.
Aye, Armour piercing rounds, full metal jacket (regular copper jackets), and total metal jacket (even the base of the bullet has a copper alloy cover).
Would also like to see with rifle rounds - everything from deer slugs from a shotgun up to .50BMG
basement wizard here; not only is the blade of that sword probably damaged from that, it's a feat that would be nearly impossible to emulate without a tightly controlled environment. And even if you could pull that off perfectly, you would get two holes in your chest rather than one. 3/10 cool but impractical
