Yeah, I don't think they're trying to claim that they can cut bullets in an actual fight or anything. Its just a demonstration of the excellent craftsmanship of those swords.

Yes I agree. No one is stupid enought to get into a fight and not choost a pistol over a sword.

But it just shows how legendary made Katana truly deserve the name of the sharpest, strongest and best forged blades in the world.

If you can imagine before the invention of reliable handheld firearms, i would definately wish to have one of these in my posession for a weapon when needed.

I don't think they would be alive, or at the very leased have broken hands or wrists....

Unless, of course, the Katana comes from the Shop At Home Channel.

I hate decorative weapons, of any kind......

Oh and about the bullets, people been saying they were probably lead or some other softer alloy.
Be noted Katana's are made from Demascus steel, and those made by master craftmen can have up to 1000 folds, with a high tensile strength along the blade, and low yield.
It was designed to take high impact on the very edge, remember these weapons were also mounted on long spears and used on horse back like extended swords sweeping the ground at around 40 - 50mph to impact with full armoured soldiers, horses, etc.
Of course if they tried any sort of test on the flat of the blade its the complete opposite. You can easily break a katana on it's side,
even by stepping on it.
I won't be surprised if a steel bullet was sliced, let alone a FMJ, FMC or JHT which i understand as lead encasted in copper.

as you will notice. The guy aims the pistol directly at the edge of the sword and you'll see from there what happens.

I didn't believe it!
