But is it busted?

I would say yes it's busted,

A razor blade is so sharp that after hitting a human hair its edge becomes pitted and blunt.

 

Imagine what it would look like if a chunk of lead hit it at high speed?

 

Then look at the edge on the pic of the blade.

 

If you want it busting I dont have a high speed rig, but I can shoot accurately enough to take a pic of the aftermath of shattered steel blade and the state of the pellet if you want me to have a go?

 

Watch this space

He seems to have forgotten, the pellet would have been fired down a rifled barrel (as evidenced by the striations on the skirt) and would therefore have been spinning at a fair rpm rate when it hit the blade. The result wouldn't have been a nice clean cut!
