Weapon clash: Is it possible to knock bullets out of the air with an attack?

Question

I know that you can't just guard projectiles, but is it possible to slice a bullet in half using a regular attack?

EDIT: Despite what the manual says, you CAN just guard projectiles such as bullets and arrows.

Answer

Yes, it is possible to deflect bullets using a regular attack. The result is the same as a weapon clash for the person being shot at.

I just confirmed this in training using Mitsurugi and Ezio's B+K unblockable shot from a great distance. Deflecting bullets works with either A or B, but not K (understandably). I think it generally follows the same rules as weapon clash.

What's interesting is that despite what it says in the manual, just guard can be used to block bullets as well.
