Samurai cuts BB in half. As it's shot AT HIM

[ferretmaster]

This is mad, so thought I should share it! Here's a video of a modern-day Japanese 'samurai' actually cutting a BB in half with his Katana, as it's being shot at him.
I want him to play on my team next skirmish.

Old news, this pops up every now and again on here.

I think its also been debunked as fake, because... well... you show me a bb gun that fires a perfectly flat trajectory and accurately to 200 yards!

Also the chap says it travels at 200mph, "no normal person would even be able to see it!" well... 350fps converts to about 260 MPH, and who here hasnt seen one coming and ducked?

And I like how they added a gunshot sound effect as the guy fired.

I don't think these things are necessarily fake, you've seen those trick shot videos of people throwing things into cups or bins from across the room after it bounces off 5 things? Or even just pool trick shots, none of those are fake, except they only show you the one that has worked. This might be his 2839 take.

Re: Samurai cuts BB in half. As it's shot AT HIM

thats a pretty old video and the mail has only just caught up and found it lol
the bb leaves the gun at over 200mph i highly dout its doing anywhere near that speed once its traveled even a short distance hence why we can see and dodge them, and i see they got the distance wrong aswell lol . i cba to do any maths to work out what it would actualy be doing once it gets near the target im sure there is someone else here or atleast someone can supply a link to a site thts already worked it out before. in fairness though moving out of the way of a bb is alot easier to do than to be able to draw a sword and slice the thing! and even if it did take him a few attempts its still pretty good since what are the chances of managing to do that quick enough

next time you see one coming towards you slice it, let's see that.

No matter they got the facts wrong and how many times they did take it and finally got it right none of us could do it like him or anywhere near that perfection.

Ahhhh the old "Well you couldnt do it better" argument. Because of course, just because you cant do something means you cant criticise it.

Im not a mechanic, but Im pretty sure Im allowed to tell my mechanic hes done a shit job if he puts my timing belt on backwards and blows my engine up.

But he plays with sharp swords all day, what's not to like.
Somebody has correctly stated though, the initial muzzle velocity might be over 200 mph, however, the BB doesn't carry all that much kinetic energy so will loose its speed massively.
The guys reactions are quick, it has been shown that people with the correct training can catch paintballs at fairly close range, I know they are much bigger.
If they were at 200ft, the BB was virtually floating towards him.

Now I feel like ninja dodging the bbs at 30+ metres.

I practise it everyday for many hours until I wake up.
