Watch an axe splitting a bullet in super slow-motion. Thanks to film technology and the Internet, we’re able to answer the big questions in the universe. For instance: "Can an axe blade split a .45 Caliber bullet?" No need to wonder no more, and watch a marksman settle this question. See the video here.
title is wrong
There is an old trick of placing balloons on each side of an axe, then shooting at the axe, splitting the bullet popping both balloons.
It looked really neat till someone figured out the bullet was really birdshot or sand fired from a smoothbore pistol.
Colt actually made several smooth bore revolvers for Buffalo Bill’s Wild West show.
Hyphens are our friends!
The headline as it is written would mean that a bullet split an axe blade, not vice versa.
To all you Bugs Bunny fans :)
When you need one, you really need one!
This reminds me of our discussions on the World War II threads about the rationing of punctuation marks. “Nothing but commas this week, George! I swear, I’d trade my only pair of shoes for three semicolons and a question mark!”
I read once that was Annie Oakley’s trick. .22 cal snakeshot.
Well no need to axe that question about an axe splitting a bullet anymore.
Doesn’t look like the bullet split but shaved some off the nose on the one side.
