If you’ve watched the previous video Japanese Katana Vs Hand Gun and thought it was awesome, wait till you watch this clip. After proving that the Japanese Katana can slice an incoming 9mm bullet, it seems some dude is still not satisfied and convinced. So the same test team raised the ante and called-in the big guns and I mean really BIG guns. The Browning .50 caliber M2 heavy machine gun (HMG).

This time the M2 HMG is placed in position 5m away from the Japanese Katana (provided by good ol' Mr. Oda). Who do you think will win this time?

And the victory goes to – depends what the challenge was in the first place. The Katana did slice through the 50 caliber bullet - not one, not two, not three but a total of 6 bullets!! However the blade finally gave way at the 7th bullet. An amazing feat no less. But whoever’s behind the sword will still get riddled with bullet shrapnel.

So if you ask me, the Japanese Katana can slice through a heavy machine gun’s bullet but it can’t withstand a repetitive assault. As far as Mr. Oda is concerned - “I told you before, my sword still Rules!!” ^_^

This video is one cool showdown you don't wanna miss – Japanese Katana Vs Hand Gun. The MythBusters gotta check this myth out!! The demo is allegedly recorded at L.A. Gun Club’s indoor rifle range. Mr. Oda the owner of the Katana brought his sword to the gun club all the way from Japan to test if its sharp blade can slice through a speeding bullet (looks like a 9mm). I’ve only seen this in anime and manga, never on real TV documentaries.

They setup the Katana vertically in the middle of the shooting range with the Ha (sharp edge) facing the gun. Behind the Katana is a large piece of paper screen used to determine where the bullet shoots through. Check out how many holes appeared after the demo.

It looked real and since it was a Japanese documentary I guess it's genuine. At the end of the clip the Katana came out unscathed, its surface only stained by the bullet's metal residue. Guess Mr. Oda can rightfully claim “I told you, my sword Rules!!”
