Katana vs. M2 .50 BMG Machine Gun
This video is great! It shows a Japanese katana sword being shot at by an M2. See what .50 caliber FMJ bullets do to a steel sword!
I am very surprised it lasted even one .50 BMG round!!!
Hat Tip: Danger Room

They should try hitting it with the .577 T-Rex Rifle.
They only tested it with the facing edge it looks like…if they would have tested it by firing at the side of the sword..it probably would have failed.
