broody hell glasshopper! no wonder they can chop a head off with one stroke

Not so impressive - It's my inderstanding that most bullets are deliberately soft and squishy to splat when they hit people rather than leave a neat hole.

If they had chopped the machine gun in half with the sword I would have been more convinced.

Under the Geneva Conventions, military small-arms have to use jacketed rounds, not soft-nosed - not allowed to use expanding ammunition on soldiers.

Police, on the other hand are allowed to use ammunition like Hydra-Shok, which has a hollow point big enough to make a cup of tea in! The rationale being that they don't want rounds going through the criminal and hitting an innocent electrician standing behind. Go figure...

it'd be a shock to the electrician if they did...let these guys get all the shocks I've got in the past

PS: Browing .50 Cal wins over the sword....you cant throw the sword as far as the browning can throw the bullet(s)

True - on the other hand which would you rather be carrying if you had to do a 10 mile run ?

But if your carrying either who would argue that you hadnt done the ten miles?
