This is going to sound stupid but I'm curious... Has anyone shot a Busse INFI?

Again, I know this is a weird question, but, has anyone shot an INFI Busse? I don't know way anyone would on purpose but I'll never know unless I ask.
:foot:
I'm new to BF so I'm not sure if I used the search correctly but I didn't find anything like this.
I'm mostly interested because of what tzknives said about how when doing the HRC test on 62HRC INFI & looking under a microscope, the steel moved like putty unlike most others that would have micro cracks around the test spot.
I've seen what it can take. Batoning, steel hammer to the spin, cutting a car up.
A bullet?

PS. If so. A pic or two of the knife would be neat.
 
Somebody shot their Busse with a .50 caliber round recently. The .50 won.
:rolleyes:

I heard it was a .50 made of INFI though. So that's not really a legitimate test imo.
 
It has been determined that a .50 cal will destroy a Busse blade by 2 different individuals, one of which was Jerry Busse. Save yourself the trouble, LOL.
...However, there is a "Wounded Badger" that deflected a misfired .40 cal round and survived as well as saving the owner who was wearing the knife in a sheath at the time from serious injury. Another member split a few .38's on the edge of a Busse, and IIRC, another member shot his knife with a .22 with no real damage to the knife. :)

I shot a 15.00 "combat" knife with a .22 and it didn't do anything until I hit right at the edge (I shot the profile of the blade so it would catch the full force). I would certainly hope a busse could stand up to it.

I'm impressed with the guy who split .38s on a knife though, that's impressive accuracy for that sorta round.
 
I shot mine the bird the other day, when it cut me. It then snapped back," What, do I need a sign that says "This side is sharp, stupid"". Yeah, my knives talk to me and apparently, they think I'm stupid.

I was just stating all the instances of bullet vs. Busse that I could remember. :)
IIRC, it was David Brown with the splitting bullets. Pretty sure it was him...and there was a viclip posted somewhere. Hopefully, he'll see this and repost or link to it. :thumbup:

Physics is a bitch. IIRC force = mass times velocity, so material means little at high velocities. Look at a CNC machine. Water is softer than steel, but when its hauling ass, it will punch right through. So, bullet mass, grain load, distance, target thickness, these are all important variables.

I see what your asking, but it seems like the HRC test done by tzknives is sufficient. The more important implication is that INFI is far less likely to crack.

Too bad the photos are no longer on the page you linked, it would be interesting to see, but I can picture it in my head.

If you haven't spent hours on this site yet, you will eventually: http://knifetests.com/

While closer than anything else I know of, INFI isn't Wolverine's adamantium. Such a material that, at any thickness, could resist all force put upon it, is impossible... what would you use to sharpen it or cut it to shape?

I think it would have to be injection molded :cool: at least that what they did for wolverine
 
Did someone say something about a Busse shot??? :confused:

Here's mine!

This guy is always looking for more bulletproof knives.

I could be wrong but,I swear I seen someone shoot a piston to split a bullet at battle mistress about a year ago,but I cant remember who,I want to say Dave Brown but I swear I dont remember??????

Oh, I know. I just wanted to see the damage. :)
I was miss understood. Not looking for a bulletproof knife. You can find anything on the web. I just didn't want to search at work with dial up speed.
PS. WAY to many hours...

What would be really interesting would be to take the blade from the .50 cal video and look at the parts where it separated under a microscope. I'd assume it would look pulled apart rather than sheared, but who knows.

We should go all mythbusters on one. Start with a low power .22 round at distance and progressively move up. If someone's got the guns, ammo, video camera and digital microscope, I'd throw in on a test dummy:D
