Samurai. The name is legendary. The name brings to mind an elite warrior class and the bushido code. Specialized armor and precision skill with a sword also comes to mind. Simply put, they were the special forces of their time. Of course I thought they were long since gone. (Not true... read on)
While surfing news articles, I came across an article about a man named Isao Machii. He calls himself a modern Samurai. At first I scoffed at this self proclaimed Samurai. That was until I watched the video attached to the story. Let me just say, I stand corrected. I watched in amazement as this man cut a plastic BB, shot at 200mph, in half. Yes you read that right a plastic BB... moving at 200 mph... in half. Here is the link to the video so you can see for yourself.
