I actually found it kind of interesting. Look how many machine gun hits it took to break it. But what I found interesting is the high speed photography and how they slowed it down enough to see the bullets break or tumble after hitting the sword.

I think the sword actually split some of the bullets.

Well, Japanese sword-smiths are said to have always been the finest in the world. The swordsmen too.
