-- Posted by earthjunkie at 8:02 pm on June 25, 2008 Now...I know everyone's seen the trailer from the movie wanted. The guy curves a bullet. I've taken HS physics, and that even though everything and everyone tells me it is unreasonable to curve a bullet,  it seems almost...possible. Any Ideas? Anyhow, whether its possible or not, I'm still seeing that movie, because Angelina is fucking hot. -- Posted by ambrrgrwr at 8:03 pm on June 25, 2008 wanted -- Posted by Latin Muscle at 8:03 pm on June 25, 2008 I  have been in war  before. A  terrorist was  shooting at me with an m-16. I dodged all those bullets. Motherfucker   can't  touch this -- Posted by tkedwn119 at 8:03 pm on June 25, 2008 I don't think it is possible -- Posted by TheAsset at 8:04 pm on June 25, 2008 its all impossible -- Posted by writergirl at 8:04 pm on June 25, 2008 Quote: from latin muscle at 8:03 pm on June 25, 2008 I have been in war before.

Where the hell the turbanfag get it? -- Posted by RockerTori106 at 8:05 pm on June 25, 2008 It's not possible. They did that for a more fantasy-like twist. -- Posted by sammiekay8135 at 8:09 pm on June 25, 2008 dude we have invented machines that can make black holes... check out quegrande countdown... im sure we can make bullets curve... -- Posted by Dexter Ward at 8:12 pm on June 25, 2008 They probably have bullets with a computer in now that can make the bullet curve in flight to hit the target, now how they do it with a normal gun is maybe possible but extremely unlikely. -- Posted by inkblot at 8:13 pm on June 25, 2008 Quote: from earthjunkie at 11:02 pm on June 25, 2008 I'm still seeing that movie, because Angelina is fucking hot. QFT. -- Posted by uschb02 at 8:15 pm on June 25, 2008 its possible....depends on barrel of gun calliber and bullet used..its very posisble been done hundreds of times -- Posted by Event Horizon at 2:02 pm on June 26, 2008 Quote: from uschb02 at 8:15 pm on June 25, 2008 its possible....depends on barrel of gun calliber and bullet used..its very posisble been done hundreds of times no. its not. -- Posted by shadowpool at 2:55 pm on June 26, 2008 The thing in the trailer is pretty much impossible.  It might be possible from defects in the bullet affecting the way it flies, but the guy wouldn't be able to control that.  Snipers have to adjust for wind because bullets do get blown around, but that's only for longer distances or when the wind is very bad.  They look at the way grasses and trees blow in the distance and adjust their shots accordingly. -- Posted by Bobman21 at 8:20 pm on June 26, 2008 Something like this was done on mythbusters.  You could probably find it on youtube.  It's possible, but extremely difficult and theres no modern technology that could do it with any sort of portable device to say the least -- Posted by earthjunkie at 8:20 pm on June 26, 2008 I know that the thing in the trailer is impossible. I still think that it could be curved...maybe if the inertia of the loaded gun was going in the opposite direction of the groves...? And that bullets naturally should curve over long distances. -- Posted by iBritt at 8:27 pm on June 26, 2008 I want to watch that movie for the James McAvoy... -- Posted by Ryan Potter at 10:52 pm on June 26, 2008 It's not possible to do in the manner they show in the movie, however I'm sure it would be possible with a modified gun and bullets. -- Posted by jonny5 at 3:44 pm on June 27, 2008 The only gun that can curve a bullet is a musket. And it's not a bullet, it's a musket ball. -- Posted by KAYGeeman at 9:21 pm on Aug. 1, 2008 could make a special gun and ammunition that would make this possible? -- Posted by Forever Angel at 2:08 pm on Aug. 2, 2008 Over a certain distance all bullets will curve. Just not the way you're speaking of. Read up on ballistics. -- Posted by obvious child at 11:38 pm on Aug. 3, 2008 From the gun itself? No. From another external force? Possible. -- Posted by Elm at 12:25 pm on Aug. 4, 2008 Of course it is possible.  All bullets curve, they curve because they are being pulled by gravity and have a velocity (usually) at angle to this thus they curve. Imparting any other velocity on a bullet (or any object in motion) will result in the same thing so yes you can cause a bullet to curve by moving the barrel while you shoot.  Although this will almost negligible movement in that vector compared to the force imparted by the propellant.  Thus it isn't going to "curve" around a target because one did that. -- Posted by Nerdandproud at 9:27 am on Aug. 26, 2008 Maybe some incredibly strong invisible magnets? haha
