Re: katana vs. machine gun

The bullets were not typical military style, i.e. they didn't appear to be jacketed or "pointy" at the business end. If anything they were pure lead semi-wadcutters (flying cylinders). Still, if they're .50 caliber that's a whole lotta energy being absorbed and split by a thin wedge of steel. I'm just wondering if this is supposed to be a marketing technique by the sword maker.
