Bullets are designed to travel a lot faster than what the metal can handle, at least standard ammunition anyways. What they would be using is a lead core, copper jacketed round. The only reason why they use copper is so it can expand and keep the lead in tact so it delivers a more damaging wound(and well doesn't spray lead everywhere). Forged stainless steel is very strong and if its a real one, its probably got around 3-4 plates of it. Read up, google, whatever and find the facts.
Its not a real tamahagane katana, but anyway it shows how freaking awesome and strong they actually are, the thing broke at the seventh shot and cut the other six bullets >.<
It takes like 6 months or more to hand craft one of theses swords, most of them cost more than $1500. And they destroyed one in a matter of seconds....
@Wassamattawityou It takes about 2 weeks to forge and up to 8 weeks to finish. Can be done faster though. They do not sell on a commercial level, there is no actual price tag, but $1500 far, far too low, add another 0 to that if you even want to start. Antiques sell in excess of $50'000 a piece. Given that all katanakaji make them only on demand, you are looking at 10k minimum to even be considered a potential buyer. Getting them out of Japan is extremely difficult though.
I can't believe they fired a .50 cal at a katana... What did they think would happen?! They should never have destroyed such a work of art and craftsmenship. It would be comparable to cutting through an American flintlock with a katana but worse since a katana takes time and effort to make.
I'm glad that there were Korean subtitles on this video. Although I primarily speak English, I do know some Korean. The subtitles make the video a little more clear even though the video is pretty straight forward.
@Kroatowa ok heres the thing no sword cuts through armor, you go for the gaps everu style stresses that. samurai armor was made of laminated scales often made of steel. deadliest warrior is so full of crap its useless to watch without dropping your IQ.
@volarion yea I understand that no sword was designed to cut through armor YET their has been occasions where they tested some forms of blades and armor and it cut through it you don't have to intentionally design something fr it to work in your favor
it took 7 brut hits and all 7 bullets got sliced and the sword lost a part of the sharp edge with each hit. 7 hits from anti armor bullets is impressive. any other normal bullets lead wont do anything major. may be after alot of shots
@Kroatowa i no katanas are strong sharp and could chop arm off with ease but some people have been watchn two many animies and then they think it can cut a tank in half
@starwalker97 actually i don't watch anime i lose interest in the first 3 episodes but i love katanas i was just telling you the differences between the weps
@starwalker97 claymore is an awesome sword i will admit but heavy(lol yes i have something against heavy blades)my fave would have to be........the tulwar sword because it offers great speed and swiftness and you only have to use one hand and can still manage to take off a arm with one swing
@Kroatowa a tulwar is like a katana saber cutlass thing on myth busters they got rapier and katana and swung them ageinst each other rapier won i would of think the rapier would of got split with ease
@starwalker97 yea its an mongolian weapon from origin and that katana must have not been well built or just old because that hard to believe the rapier is so weak it bends when you swing it thats so weird...
@Kroatowa no it was real katana not one of thos crappy mall katanas that cant even slice through a bottel when sharpend cant beleave it was a legit katana u shouldwatch the episode
@starwalker97 well in the katanas defense even if the rapier was stronger the katanas style is way better than the rapier style so though the rapier may have beat it in durability it does not beat it in technique but thx i will go watch the ep
@Kroatowa i like katanas better anyway but katana isnt ment to block or hit other blades its ment to slice through flesh the samurai would only block with a katana if he really had to
@starwalker97 well most of the shogun's blades were made to be able to cut through flesh and samurai soldiers blades to make it easier for the shogun's so yea but thats a shogun's blade But you do have a point it was mainly meant for easy decapitation and to cut through armor but i never understood what made the shogun's better than a normal samurai other than their armor looks more stylish
@Kroatowa WHAT. I'm pretty sure no sword was ever made to go through another sword. Also, the shogun was basically the military leader of Japan, the emperor was just a figurehead, so the Shogun would hardly ever be fighting (if at all). The katana wasn't designed to take on armor either. Against armor, one would stab through the armor, or attempt to slash at weaker parts of the armor, not attempt to cut right through the plating. Do you have any sources?
@Dosufan755 well my source would be deadliest warrior for the shogun thing but I made an assumption that since samurais were heavily armored they would design a blade to cut through the armor and when I say made to cut through their blades I never meant intentionally but I meant they were made strong to be able to break or "cut" through a weaker sword and yes the shogun would fight sometimes and my source would be books about samurais and sometimes google...
@Kroatowa Yeah...but swords were not made to cut through other swords. The shogun would fight sometimes, but it's my understanding that it would be quite rare for him to do so, fighting was the job of the samurai and daimyos. And the bamboo armor was quite tough, too much for a katana. I believe the katanas were made for slicing at weak areas of the armor, such as the neck and joints. Otherwise, the samurai would attempt to stab through the torso plate.
@Dosufan755 well I might be wrong but were their bamboo armor made out of just bamboo or mixed with something else because I remember watching a samurai program where the katana sliced clean through 4 thick bamboo branches with ease their for it must not be a problem for a katana the armor must have been plated with steel or something
@Kroatowa It was probably mixed with other shit, and heres the thing, it was made from hardened/dry bamboo which is hard as hell to cut with a katana because when bamboo is dry, it won't cut, but will splinter and/or damage the blade. Also, it probably wasn't plated with steel since quality steel wasn't available in Japan back then. Hence the method of folding steel when forging a katana (to get rid of impurities in the shit steel they had back then).
@Dosufan755 I know I didn't know they what they used so I just assumed that it was steel because back then that was considered a strong substance to use but I don't understand I KNOW BAMBOO IS SHIT strong but scientifically thought out I can't fathom even if dried out it how can it damage a blade that has been folded over 9-10 times(which makes it stronger) to me calculating the velocity and strength of the blade and wielder should cut right through it
@Dosufan755 I know it probably wasn't steel I just quoted it because that was considered a very strong substance back then also how can it break or damage a blade scientifically that doesn't make sense calculating the strength of the blade and velocity and power of the swing it should go through it no matter how dry it is also sorry I have a tendency to say "cut" when I mean stab or pierce but this time I DO MEAN CUT
@Kroatowa sorry my computer is an asshole so it made me think I didn't post a response they are the same thing but can you explain the bamboo thing plz I don't understand
@Kroatowa Bamboo is not that strong. FRESH bamboo (green) can be cut with a good katana that has decent niku. Also, folding doesn't strengthen a katana. It was only used back in ancient Japan to get rid of the impurities in the steel because Japan had shit steel back then (hence the development of the folding method). When bamboo is dry, it hardens, and becomes harder to cut due to the lack of water content in it.
@Kroatowa Also, the bamboo armor the samurais had was quite thick; made of multiple layers of bamboo woven together in a cross-hatch pattern for extra strength. A katana probably could do some damage to bamboo armor, but the hardness of dry bamboo would do some edge damage to a sword. A differentially hardened katana is forged so that the back of the blade is softer and more flexible while the edge is hard and sharp. Therefore, the edge is more brittle, so it's more prone to chipping.
@starwalker97 Not necessarily. The rapier was DESIGNED to be flexible, as its role was for stabbing (most rapiers had completely blunt edges). Thus, a rapier is quite bendy, yet still tough. I don't know why anyone would be SWINGING a rapier. Pretty bad test IMO. And you can't say one sword is better than the other when they have completely different styles of use and completely different roles.
@starwalker97 Yeah, katana was not designed to cut through other swords, ESPECIALLY with the traditional differential hardening, which makes it even less strong against abuse.
what's with people getting butthurt about their favorite anime weapon getting destroyed? If anything it shows how strong the original still is even compared to modern day weaponry.
@SuzakuValentine92 and yet if anceint samurai had a chance they would have used guns too, they used every weapon to give them an edge all warrior classes did people are just so over romanticized to see it.
@kattowitz4 That's a common misconception... A diamond Katana would shatter the moment the bullet touched it... Diamond may be the densest material in the world, but if you try things like that... The diamond would become brittle. As for what several other people said, Guns ARE dis-honarable weapons... Cowards are hiding behind the triggers. It takes true strength and courage to go face to face with your enemies. In my opinion, snipers are the biggest cowards.
the machine gun is completely a rubbish piece of spiritless weapon, fight from distant, used by cowards hiding behind the triggers, fearing to face the enemy face to face. How could they play a joke on the katana. It was once representing the live and dignity of a Japanese warrior. Pay respect to the dignity of the sacrificed katana, SALUTE!!!
@LTSamogitianLT man i agree with you no honour and with a gun even child can kill a master of old weapons(sword,bludgeon,etc).Talk about a 0 skill weopen.
@LTSamogitianLT You know whats interesting about guns, that every people that they have ever been introduced to have extensively used them from Sioux to Samurai
Uh. Normally I'm at war with Katana fanboys but uh... I think I'll side with the Katana on this one. This is stupid, any hard object with an edge can split a bullet, including BONE. That said this many high velocity impacts would shatter ANY knife or sword and might even crack a good thick AXE head. :P
Not quite sure what this video is supposed to be proving. You would have the same result with most single edged blades.The bullet hits the thin edge then takes the path of least resistance down either side of the wedge.it withstands the hit because of the folded steel it uses to give it such strength.A technique the cults used for crafting weapons around 2 millennia before the japanese albeit with iron not steel, remember that next time you start to see the katana as a thing to be revered.
UUuuuuoooooooooooooooo!!!! zanpakutō !!! Jo tinc una dels chinos!! La portare a "l'afiladoooor!!! fliisssfiiuuuuuuu!!! Mireu anime en català !!! Hehehe!!!
Uhhh all you "omg u can cut bulletzzzz" guys did you not see the destruction occurring on the wall behind the sword? It's turned a .50 cal mg into a .50 cal scattergun, of you were holding the sword as it "cut" the bullets you'd be shredded
@LibCon00 Truth. Either you're not in the bullet's path and trying to cut bullets is absolutely pointless or you're still standing in the way and you just increased the bullet's effectiveness by multiplying its impact force. Can't say it's terribly impressive as plenty of non-weaponized pieces of steel can do the same thing and anyone who did that in combat would just be an idiot.
for all the katanalovers out there hate to break it too you but even though its a great sword any blade can do this axes can do this other swords can do this even butter knives can do this
@volarion Ill bet everything I have that a butter knife cannot cut 7 bullets before breaking. The point was the man was a master sword smith. Thats pretty good steel to stand up to 7 bullets from a machine gun before breaking.Granted if you run at someone thinking you will cut their bullets like some anime youll get killed before you reach them, but still a good test. Remember, if someone wants to be a complete warrior, they learn FIREARMS, Melee weapons, and unarmed combat!
@AngryCaseyJones The sword would've been nicked beyond repair if the shots were fired all along its length; it would be useless for cutting afterwards and would probably break if used to try to cut anything harder than leather.
as awesome as being able to cut a bullet in mid flight is, its not practical. once the bullts cut you got the shrapnel from the bullet coming at you instead
@aclock well the video does show a dull sword, i know because i did tje same cuts with my blunted longsword. no sword can cut througj plate thats why they wore it. if swords could cut througj armor what possible reason could anyone have to weaor armor??? its not because it makes you lighter.
Gotta remember guys- Those kinds of bullets can take down tanks. This is a fucking sword we're talking about, the fact that it could last so long is beyond reason
@volarion what in the world are you talking about from a comment that stupid and asinine you have single handily proved, that you have no idea what you are talking about, and have made everyone of us who have read your idiotic statements 5 percent stupider, I mean are you jealous you can't ever make a katana of that strength or something damn
@Cthulhuspawn420 He's saying that the katana isn't the OMG BESTES UBER SWORD EVER, you fucking wapanese weeaboo. What, you gonna cry that your fucking precious sword was ripped to shreds? Seriously, get over yourself, the Katana can't even cut through chainmail.
Well, it's not really cut through but it stabbed through. Beside, the blade is not a top quality one and the user is not somebody who study swordmanship all his life.
@aclock2 So it took several stabs to penetrate less than an inch into some very poorly made armor and at most dented it from cuts, lol? Knowing how to use the sword wouldn't of made it "penetrate" any deeper you dipshit. And that sword in that video was blunt as hell, whereas a REAL sword would be able to do, well this:
watch?v=_hfLZozBVpM (this sword could chop a katana in half)
@bud389 Are you blind or are you simply dumb ? it was a single strike not several stab idiot. And how do you know that armor was poorly made ? Because it was penetrated by a sword you dislike ? Is that your dick that do the thinking instead of your brain ? And when did this argument become katana vs other swords ? I just want to prove that your claim that a katana can not cut through a chainmail is pure bullshit.
@aclock2 lol oh wow faggot, you mad i disproved your shitty bullcunt with fact? Or are you just too big of a weeaboo to accept your wrong? And it wasnt KATANA VS OTHER SWORDS, its KATANA VS EUROPEAN SWORDS, which those are you dumb-cunt-fuck. Learn to think instead of jerk off onto your keyboard and post that faggot nigger, now go suck the emperor of japans cock, while i go block you.
@bud389 Lol, did somebody aside from your dad fuck your mother in the ass while having you watching ? Did your girlfriend suck another bastard's cock in front of your face ? I sent you that video to show that a Katana can damage a full plate, not to show that a katana is better than a longsword dumbass. Not only you have severely mental damage, your parents also failed in teaching you some manner. Poor boy having to express his hatred on a sword and then on a random youtube user. Lol, pathetic
this was amazing considering it was not maked for cutting bullets and for the fact that all the bullets all hit in the same generl area of the blade; i was supried by the amount of damge it took on the edge of the blade before breaking the blade, this was a very well made sword
@gmisurdaddy im not saying it isnt surprising it survived im saying any sharp objwct can cut a bullet aimed right at the sweet spot for it. the edge of a real katana is strong but still brittle being composed of martensite formed during forging. i do know read up on it yourself.
Wait... They seriously think that the katana cut the bullets in half?

The diamond would become brittle. As for what several other people said, Guns ARE dis-honarable weapons... Cowards are hiding behind the triggers. It takes true strength and courage to go face to face with your enemies. In my opinion, snipers are the biggest cowards.

the machine gun is completely a rubbish piece of spiritless weapon, fight from distant, used by cowards hiding behind the triggers, fearing to face the enemy face to face. How could they play a joke on the katana. It was once representing the live and dignity of a Japanese warrior. Pay respect to the dignity of the sacrificed katana, SALUTE!!!

Uh. Normally I'm at war with Katana fanboys but uh... I think I'll side with the Katana on this one. This is stupid, any hard object with an edge can split a bullet, including BONE. That said this many high velocity impacts would shatter ANY knife or sword and might even crack a good thick AXE head. :P

MrMcGriddles91 2 months ago
Not quite sure what this video is supposed to be proving. You would have the same result with most single edged blades.The bullet hits the thin edge then takes the path of least resistance down either side of the wedge.it withstands the hit because of the folded steel it uses to give it such strength.A technique the cults used for crafting weapons around 2 millennia before the japanese albeit with iron not steel, remember that next time you start to see the katana as a thing to be revered.

Uhhh all you "omg u can cut bulletzzzz" guys did you not see the destruction occurring on the wall behind the sword? It's turned a .50 cal mg into a .50 cal scattergun, of you were holding the sword as it "cut" the bullets you'd be shredded
LibCon00 2 months ago
@LibCon00 Truth. Either you're not in the bullet's path and trying to cut bullets is absolutely pointless or you're still standing in the way and you just increased the bullet's effectiveness by multiplying its impact force. Can't say it's terribly impressive as plenty of non-weaponized pieces of steel can do the same thing and anyone who did that in combat would just be an idiot.

volarion 3 months ago
@volarion Ill bet everything I have that a butter knife cannot cut 7 bullets before breaking. The point was the man was a master sword smith. Thats pretty good steel to stand up to 7 bullets from a machine gun before breaking.Granted if you run at someone thinking you will cut their bullets like some anime youll get killed before you reach them, but still a good test. Remember, if someone wants to be a complete warrior, they learn FIREARMS, Melee weapons, and unarmed combat!

Make a Katana out of diamond. Those fucking .50 bullets will just stop and turn around when they see that.
kattowitz4 3 months ago 2
@AngryCaseyJones The sword would've been nicked beyond repair if the shots were fired all along its length; it would be useless for cutting afterwards and would probably break if used to try to cut anything harder than leather.

@aclock2 So it took several stabs to penetrate less than an inch into some very poorly made armor and at most dented it from cuts, lol?

@bud389 Are you blind or are you simply dumb ? it was a single strike not several stab idiot. And how do you know that armor was poorly made ? Because it was penetrated by a sword you dislike ?

I just want to prove that your claim that a katana can not cut through a chainmail is pure bullshit.
