While I'm sure the physics folks will be along soon - for now I'll just say that was a cool visual. :)

I saw this a long time ago, but there was more to it. They fired a machine gun at the sword. It divided quite a few of the bullets before taking enough damage to be broken.

yep...
there were 3 videos i saw of it...

pistol, heavy gun (wana say mech gun) and a side-shot with both...

basically if not absolutely straght on with the hit, the sword shatters...

A finely crafted steel egde vs. fast lead... Not surprising.

Hard steel against soft lead? Blah. Lets see the sword to against a high velocity bullet (rather than a slow pistol) where the bullet is made of the same material.

Yes but it's probably pretty easy to say that a swordsman will get owned by a group of gun toting soldiers. Swords are nice for close quarters though and much more so then a knife unless people start grappling.
