  • @AToySoldierx -Uses a thin paper which has a good story- SWORD DEFLECTED.

    -Uses twilight which is four inches thick on a hardcover- SWORD PIERCES THROUGH.

  • ACTUALLY, books were not used as a means of protection but as a means of stabalizing your weapon when firing. You can tuck your elbow/arm on top of the book and use it as a stabalizer. We do this all the time in the Marines.

  • Testing if [something] will slow down something else when (if) it hits it????

    Stupidest test yet.

  • Wouldn't have stopped a katana.

  • 2:13 your body is soft.. check out facial expression :DD

  • grant speaks some Yoda wisdom

  • 2:14 A shameless excuse to cop a good look at some boobs. Nice

  • the sword is worth 10 grand huh..... Rick will give ya 500 bucks lol

  • @supercrafterxx

    No... a sword can be used for both. Its all about the form. Besides, the sword they are using is pretty damn good at stabbing.

  • they used the sword wrong

    that sword is meant for hacking and slashing not stabbing
