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.

The headline as it is written would mean that a bullet split an axe blade, not vice versa.

Nobody watches "Forged In Fire" on the History Channel?
Season 1, Episode 1. The two finalists' katanas were tested the same way.

Well no need to axe that question about an axe splitting a bullet anymore.
