You think that's cool? Check this one out:
Katana vs. .50 Caliber Machine Gun
It cuts a few round in half before getting blown in two.

It was pretty funny, on a school trip to Chinatown last year I bought a katana and smuggled it back without my teacher noticing.

strange, because generally whenever someone gets shot in the head, they don't get back up

That would be because you need to log in to access those pages.

The .50 BMG round was brass, last time I checked... which would be now, I have one sitting on my desk.

Plus, you gotta Put in the factor that the good Handmade Katanas aren't set to a single definition. It could be thinner and lighter, or thicker, with multiple folds and possibly tempered for extra strength.

So a gun may go right through a sword, or have the sharpness and Durability to cut that gun up.

WHAT? man, that sucks... well, i'll post the waldo one here, it's one of the funnier ones.

Waldo
-------------------------------
W.A.L.D.O., short for Whereissarahconnor Artificialintelligence Lifelike Deadly Organism, is a series of assassin robots. In context of LUElinks, it refers to Waldo XQ1337, a robot sent back in time from the year 2101 AD to prevent LUElinks from ever being created. Waldo is gifted with a prodigious ability to hide in plain sight.

Abilities
-------------------------------
Waldo usually creates chaos wherever he goes, not being opposed to killing innocent bystanders. In the following action, Waldo appears as just an normal man. This is his main modus operandi and allows him to be extremely succesful. He has assassinated over 200 targets over the history of mankind, including John F. Kennedy, Jesus, and Martin Luther King Jr. His armaments include a deadly lightsaber disguised as a cane, "eyeglasses" which can focus optic rays into deadly lasers, and a red and white striped shirt which is heavily armored.

History
-------------------------------
Upon arriving in the year 2005, he travelled to Baton Rouge, Louisiana, to kill LlamaGuy. However, LlamaGuy summoned Hurricane Katrina to stop Waldo. In the looting frenzy that was followed, Waldo was robbed of all his equipment by looters. LlamaGuy's plan was somewhat succesful, and Waldo returned to 2101 AD for maintenance. Waldo was sent back again, and he arrived in the year 2006. He murdered redkillroy and replaced him with an android replicant, but could not find LlamaGuy. He returned to 2101 for the second time, and will pop out of a time vortex some time after 2006 to finish his job and assassinate LlamaGuy, thus causing LUElinks to fall into chaos under the rule of the cyber-RKR. It is unknown at this time whether or not Waldo will ever be successful, but he does have time on his side.

Any weapon's bullet, if traveling at a higher velocity than a nine millimeter pistol, will shatter into hundreds of pieces when shot at water.

Water pwns.

Actually, I do physics, and that's not all that surprising to me.

lol Mythbusters. Youre forgetting all the other guns in between. What about Guns with a higher Muzzle Velocity than a 9mm, but already in multiple trajectories? 10 Gauge Shotgun for example. Smaller Buckshot? They left a lot of holes in that research. They didn't set a bar of what won't Shatter, they proved that high velocity bullets shattered in shallow water, and the only round that didnt shatter was a 9mm.they went from Pistol Directly TO rifles.

If you have common sense you would know that it would do that.

Hah. I'm glad I own three of those babies.

Cuda:
They went up in the ranks of pistols. They tried the magnum and that shattered. They didn't even have to use a rifle at all before it started shattering. Also, small buckshot wouldn't even go that far underwater, because it's so small and has so little mass. Inertia won't keep it going underwater. Also, all real katanas are tempered at the edge to help it hold sharpness, but are not tempered on the back, to preserve flexibility and durability.

They still forgot the middle Pistols. 9mm to Magnums is a pretty big jump.
