Many years ago that japanese guy blocked me! It was for his video where he cuts an airsoft bb mid air. Looks impressive but I feel it's more a trick. See the sword just has to be at a given point in space at the right time. The bb isnt being fired in random trajectories its being fired at a specific point in space; like an imaginary bullseye. So as long as the sword's edge is at that imaginary bullseye at the right moment the bb is cut. Think of it as the sword being the target and the gun is firing to hit the sword. Don't get me wrong there is still skill in the whole thing; especially timing and getting the bb & sword to be in the location consistently. But it isnt the swordsman cutting a bb fired in a random trajectory which would be far more impressive.
It's like a knife in their military, they use spear like weapons (forgot the name) and bows primarily, which is also why they use shields on their armor (specifically their shoulders) to avoid arrow penetration
@@justaguy-m2oKinda, since the Katana did change through out the years. To put it simply, imagine it as a sword that can either he a "longsword" in terms of usage or a "kreigmesser". Katana before 1600 tended to he longer, have larger disc guards, and various blade geometries, tapperings, curvature, and so. This also isn't mentioning the ability to perform halfswording techniques with Japanese blades and anything like them. Just don't expect straight up murder strokes.
The katana was cutting a little more, compared to the chopping by this sword. That’s with perfect edge alignment after probably decades of practice. Katana’s not great for any specific thing. It can be used for slashing or thrusting, but there are better swords for each.
The only reason edge alignment would matter is because the katana is very dependent on the edge being aligned properly. That’s the exact reason why there are so many katana demonstrations, it’s actually impressive to be able to get those clean of cuts.
@@Tyler_Skye77 yeah, but thats all swords while cutting edge alignment is very important. I just meant that thin metal pipe, and the sheet metal he cut i dont think the edge alignment was really that much factor. Unlike cutting for example tatami. This katana cutting video floated around years ago, and they are making huge deal that hes cutting metal, and its kinda funny how much they hype it, and the audience reactions, but all the metal objects are very thin, and easy to cut with pretty much any sword
@@lalli8152 That’s true, it’s a bit over the top with the excitement for that 😆. What I meant by edge alignment was that the katana was slicing more smoothly, through the metal. 1 thing with Katanas is that your edge alignment matters more & the widow margarin for error is smaller. So, the katana cutting through the metal of the bar as well as it did was because of the tashemigiri shizan practice. If not for that, I think it’s amount of the material sliced as opposed to snapping would’ve been closer to the other sword’s or some amount lower. (That’s compared to the same edge alignment ability with each of these people using each sword). I’m not trying to say anything against katanas, I like them. It just takes more skill to cut things in the higher of the katanas’ ability compared to swords made like this one. If someone were to have 0% personal practiced proficiency with swords in general, then they probably wouldn’t have much of a difference in ability using one over the other.
They both cut through the exact same way look.again that sword is razor. You can't separate the pipe with out cutting it just crushed shut and the sheet can not be ripped through the sword would stop in it and bend it lol
You could probably chalk that up to the difference in blade geometry and the items being cut. Pretty sure they didn't go to the same hardware store to pick up the pipe and sheet metal.
That's what I figured, the katana is much thinner so cuts easier. On the other extreme, I'm sure you could use an iron pipe to break the pipe and smash the sheet metal.
