If this is a repost, I am sorry.

When the bullet hit the sword, it was cut to two parts. I didn't see the full version but someone told me that with a machine gun shooting, the sword could defeat 7 bullets. 🙂

Bullet was deflected so it was probably not heading into the paper str8... so larger hole isn't hard to explain..
 
The idea that a thick piece of steel can stop a small piece of lead isn't anything new. Of course, HITTING that small piece of lead is another thing. And the jacketing on the bullets may make a difference, target shooting rounds are usually all lead, which is soft. The military on the other hand, uses full metal jacket rounds that have a copper shell around the lead. As noted, those flying pieces of metal won't feel too good.

Jacketing is primarily to keep weapons clean, it is EXTREMELY thin. You can easily scratch through it with your fingernail.

Actually it was a handgun in a Ransom Rest, not a machinegun...

The military uses jacketing as part of an international agreement to keep bullets in one piece so you don't get alot of nasty injuries in the field. The idea is that you want to keep suffering to a minimum.

Agreed. The bullet is made out of very soft metal and going at incredible speeds.

While it is pretty neat, I'll take that .45 over the sword any day of the week.

Only on .22's. On rifles and handguns it's considerably thicker. Too thick to scratch through.
