The blade of a katana, on the other hand, is made of <a href=\"https:\/\/samuraischwert.kaufen\/en\/samurai-sword\/components\/the-blade\/blade-steel-grades\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Steel <\/a>manufactured. Lead and copper are softer metals than steel. This makes it seem possible at first glance that a katana can cut through projectiles made of these materials.\n<\/p>\n<h2>The speed &amp; the right angle<\/h2>\n<p>\nHowever, a bullet shoots out of a weapon at an extremely high velocity. Pistols, for example, reach muzzle velocities of approx. 350 m\/s, which corresponds to 1260 km\/h. The katana must therefore be able to withstand this speed on impact. The katana must therefore be able to withstand this speed on impact.<\/p>\n<p>Another decisive factor is the angle at which the bullet hits the sword blade. The bullet must hit the sharp side of the katana blade straight on. This is the only way to split the bullet cleanly, as the energy of the bullet hits the narrow surface of the blade. Otherwise the bullet would destroy the blade.\n<\/p>\n<h2>Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p>\nCutting bullets with a samurai sword is possible under the right conditions. However, defence against bullets, as sometimes shown in films\/anime, is not feasible in reality. In fact, firearms replaced swords as weapons in combat in ancient Japan.<\/p>\n<div class=\"shariff shariff-align-left shariff-widget-align-left\"><ul class=\"shariff-buttons theme-grey orientation-horizontal buttonsize-medium\"><li class=\"shariff-button twitter shariff-nocustomcolor\" style=\"background-color:#595959\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/share?url=https%3A%2F%2Fsamuraischwert.kaufen%2Fen%2Fsamuraischwert%2Fgeschichte%2Fkuriositaeten%2Fkatana-vs-kugel-bullet%2F&text=Katana%20vs.%20Kugel%20%E2%80%93%20Wer%20gewinnt%3F\" title=\"Share at X\" aria-label=\"Share at X\" role=\"button\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" class=\"shariff-link\" style=\";
