    In the beginning, the Earth was without form, and void.
    When one picks up some wood or metal or stone and shapes it into something usefull
    ... I beleive that it has to be a deliberate effort to disavow a creator.

    As you work these, and join them, you feel the force and the will of He
    who formed and shaped the very resorces that you now add your will and force to.
    Further one surely can know when your will and force is not aligned with His.

    Interesting! I saw a museum-type display of Japanese swords one time at Texas A & M in the student center. Some were complete, some were just blades. Awesome. True devotion to the craft.

    What was interesting to me was how the magic of the sword worked against the bullets. The edge, which is harder than a bad girl's heart btw, held it's own. It didn't break until the bullets had chipped away the hardened edge and reached the softer steel which gives the sword it's ability to survive repeated uses. Thanks for the link.

    Thanks for looking deeper than the drama ......of the tommy-gun
    I was impressed at how many hits in the same region it took to start the breakdown.

    'cause the bark is worse than bite?
    1: that M2 wasn't firin' Mil. Spec. ammo, but soft point lead.
    2: a .50 M2, a .50 Barrett, a .50 AE, a 9mm, or a 22LR are going to do the same amount of damage to the blade if they all use the same alloy projectile. they use a .50 cal machine gun for show, "ooooh, a machine gun !!!!", why not fill a Claymore with 00 buck, REAL impressive.
    ooooh, how 'bout a Claymore (mine) against a Claymore (sword)

    Yeah, and we all know that's what's really important in life...

    Not silly stuff like holding down a job or anything.

    By that line of "reasoning," there shouldn't be any such thing as a 12 lb sledgehammer, because a sledge is made of steel and a 8 oz ball peen is made of steel too, so they should have the same effect.

    How did he hit that blade?

    THAT is impressive luck being able to hit not only a blade on edge, but the same spot more than once with that .50 set up the way it was! It takes me a bench rest and my nail-driving 22-250 to hit the same spot more than once. I could hit the blade alright, but not full-auto on a swivel tripod!

    Yeah, the soft lead debate I have a problem getting my mind around, too. 50-cal and .22LR soft lead rounds have different mass and velocity. It's like saying hitting water at 5 MPH is the same as hitting it at 50 MPH. Not quite the same. That was definitely NOT FMJ!!
    I NEED MORE COWBELL!!!
