[Squeeky]

I went to the del mar fair a couple years ago. They had these guys doing a katana demonstration. One guy took a katana, and using one hand, and just barely putting any effort into it, he sliced a phonebook all the way through. UBER clean cut too.

Weak ass round.

Guns own all. If they didn't, you'd see republicans taking martial arts classes to defend their women and children. Do we? No. We buy the best guns we can and feel secure that no matter how many invaders (be they rapists, murderers, theives, or kung fu ninjas) come through our door, theyre all leaving in a body bag.

you aim for the weapon tek? tisk tisk.

[Indecisive]

:whips out lightsaber:

[Sputty]

Hahah, can't wait to see someone try to stop a bullet with a sword in real conditions and then get destroyed(also, the bullets would have hit the guy holding the sword anyway)

[Dharkbayne]

Holy damn, that's a tough sword.

[Spee]

My video freezes right after the Japanese guys stop talking. Cant get past that.

Where the hell did you get that from?

In close conditions, it's an instant triple shot burst - 2 to the heart and one to the head (in case of body armor). At a farthur distances it's a measured shot to insure accuracy (if you miss, they won't).

If they are on my property and I have a wife and kids in the home, i shoot to kill. If it's just me, i shoot to permanently maim.

Dunno why i even need to explain. Ask any conservative and you'll get the same answer.

i know tek, noone can move fast enought to block a bullet round, exept mabey one of them rocket rounds, but the point of the video which i still havent seen because i get 404 or something is to show the strength of the sword, and i must assure you, that not every sword is like those off of HSN, and the really good ones of old can still be made.

While it has been done the only swords that were folded 1000 tended to owned by emperors or extremely wealthy samurai families simply due to the time it took and the amount of money that had to be paid out. Most katanas were folded 200 times. Even the 35th generation desecendent of the Masamune family confirms that.
(For those that don't know the masamune family is a legendary family of sword makers
some even claim that he developed/perfected the folding steel technique)

But remember that the majority of the samurai armor was made of layers a leather sewn together by silk so the armor was very light and flexable the only pieces that were metal were the armor only the arms. Most Samurai armor was deemed as Funeral costumes something nice to die in.

P.S. I'm not trying to flame you or anything just adding facts. Katanas are among my favorite weapon for hand to hand combat and the samurai are the most interesting warrior class ever In my opinion (besides the Knights Templar but thats a different story)

P.S. again: I inherited a katana from my late grandfather that was stationed in japan for 7 years. He said he had it made as a reminder of the years he was there. the paper work is at my grandmother's house but it is authentic. it has papers of who made it and when it was made I believe it was made in 1951 but I'm not sure.
