[TheForge] Katana vs bullet

[Grant Marcoux]

Hmmm..seems a waste of a perfectly good sword.  The outcome was never in
doubt.  The M2 .50 BMG in the clip was likely loaded with the standard 750
grain FMJ bullet, which is gilding metal jacket over lead core.  You don't
need an armor-piercing round to demolish a brick wall with a .50 gun.  I
didn't see any tracers or APITs in the mix, either.   Grant

Anybody know if the rounds are steel jacketed? Steel I can see doing
that, although I'm thinking lead, or even copper would have similar
results to the first set. Could be some harmonic viration being set
up, too.
