Duration: 15:36

This video tests the durability of a decorative sword against various firearms, from .22 LR to .50 AE and 5.56 NATO. While smaller calibers like .22 LR and .380 ACP caused only minor cosmetic damage or slight bending, larger calibers like .44 Magnum and .50 AE began to significantly deform and damage the blade. The sword was ultimately broken in half by a 5.56 NATO round.

Frequently Asked Questions

What firearms were used to test the giant sword's durability?

The sword was tested against a Glock 44 (.22 LR), Glock 42 (.380 ACP), Rex Zero 1S (9mm), FN Five-seveN (5.7x28mm), Taurus Raging Hunter (.44 Magnum), Desert Eagle (.50 AE), an AK-style shotgun (12 Gauge), and an IWI Tavor X95 (5.56 NATO).

Did any of the smaller caliber rounds damage the decorative sword?

No, smaller calibers like .22 LR and .380 ACP caused only minor cosmetic damage or slight bending. The 9mm and 5.7x28mm rounds also resulted in minimal deformation, showing the sword's surprising initial resilience.

What was the first caliber to significantly damage the sword?

The .44 Magnum round from the Taurus Raging Hunter was the first to cause substantial damage, breaking the sword's guard and handle assembly and significantly bending the blade. A .50 AE round from a Desert Eagle then caused cracking and removed a chunk from the edge.

Was the decorative sword able to withstand 5.56 NATO rounds?

The sword's durability was finally overcome by a 5.56 NATO round fired from an IWI Tavor X95. A precise hit on the already weakened blade caused it to snap completely in half.
