[martyr]

edit: oh, look at that, they have it in this video.
haha, i like how they play blackhawk down music for the browning firing
edit2: holy crap, it took seven rounds to break it. i want one

[Kyonye]

ok thats sick. it withstood 6 shots, actually splitting the bullets in half, and on the seventh one it broke but who cares it withstood 6 100mm+ rounds.

[Infernus]

Woah!

[UncleDynamite]

Wow, that's amazing.

[MrPaul]

Ewwwwwned.
My uncle has a Katana (genuine Japanese steel). Shame I don't have a gun...

[Sputty]

You plan on shooting your uncle to steal it?

[ViperGTS]

Oooo coolio.

[TotalBiscuit]

Splitting Bullets in half..

I doubt a smaller calibre weapon would succeed in breaking it.

TB.

[Sputty]

Of course, if it was shot from the side it would be completely different

[OfaLoaf]

Let's nuke it and see if it can cut through the explosion.

The japan man looked like he was on the verge of tears when he saw it break.

No, I'll throw it at him, and when he's confused I'll steal the blade like the ninja I was born to be!

I also noticed this. A lot of work went into it, obviously.

each successive round chipped away at the thing until there was a flat enough area that one of the rounds split the blade
