    Is it possible to curve a bullet?

    I just watched Wanted and there's a scene where the main guy shoots a gun and curves a bullet around Jolie's head and hits a target

    Is this at all possible?

    Try at your local gun range. They'll be glad to assist you.

    Yes. If you have a pistol, go outside and try to curve the bullet around a tree. It will take a ton of practice but it is very possible
    >> sage all day erraday 06/19/11(Sun)19:17 No.9103254
    Yes, yes it is. All you need to do it concentrate and believe. I've done it before. Try it yourself. Simply take a pistol, load it, hold it against your head, take off the safety, and pull the trigger. The Bullet will curve around your head and fall to the ground harmlessly.

    Bullets naturally follow a parabolic flight path related to the effects of the force of gravity. So yes, but you are still retarded.

    Go learn some basic Newtonian Physics and find out for yourself.

    I'll give you a hint though, the answer is no. Be sure to show your work though, you only get half credit for the answer.

    i click my heals together while shooting and this makes the bullet curve. something to do with the sound vibrations effecting one side of the bullet to make it rotate faster.

    Yes, it is possible to curve a bullet. Shoot a bullet straight and level, and it will curve downwards into the ground.

    Oh, you meant curve it left or right? Well, unless Jolie's head is actually a neutron star, Newtonian physics says no, it is not possible to curve a bullet in the XY plane. Bullets will naturally curve in the XZ plane due to gravity though.

    Your bullet will go like this \ instead of |. It will have an initial velocity in the Y direction, which it will maintain till it impacts the ground. There is nothing you can do that will get a bullet to do this (

    >>9104494
    Bullets are not baseballs. Baseballs have stitches, bullets do not, and that is the difference. The stitching on the ball creates uneven drag pulling one side of the ball left or right. If you were so inclined, you could create a round that would curve by drilling a small hole offset from the center of the bullet, but good luck hitting anything with it.

    Either way, with a standard, unaltered round on planet earth, your bullet will fly like this | or \ or / but never like ( or ).

    If you fired it from a smooth bore rifle maybe. If not it would spin too fast, and probably just tumble. Not curve.

    Sigh. Yes. It's possible.

    You'd probably need a dimpled bullet or something though... and a special barrel, and a special wad in the cartridge, and...

    Can you do it by flicking your wrist... probably not notably...measurably, or usefully. Nevermind being accurate. Not at the speed a bullet travels. And given the axis the rifling causes it to rotate on, and the fact that they are more of a cone than a spheroid, it's going to do what it was intended to do and...stabilize in the normally expected trajectory.

    But if you had a plain old musket ball, and if you could get a custom shaped 'wad' behind the bullet to deliver a directional strike, with custom rifling that spun in the opposite direction... Yeah, you could in theory curve it like a golf ball.

    But your hand is never going to have the speed or energy necessary to do this compared to the force the charge pushes.

    For all you haters out there... umm. You don't know physics for shit. No...really...STFU. Newton would be ashamed of your crap.

    I can curve about anything if it has air resistance and I spin it fast enough in the right direction to generate a pressure difference.
