Is curved shooting possible in real world?
Yes. In fact, you can’t avoid it. Bullets are affected by gravity, so they all follow a curved path. It’s possible to shoot over a hill and hit something behind it that you cannot directly see.
How long would it take for a bullet to hit the ground?
Here you can see that the bullet with air resistance hit the ground after 0.44 seconds. The bullet without air resistance hit the ground after 0.431 seconds.
Is it possible to shoot a bullet with another bullet?
The fired bullet hit dead center, and the MythBusters found that both bullets had fused together into a single mass. Though incredibly unlikely, it is possible for two bullets to collide and fuse together in midair.
What would happen if a bullet hit another bullet?
Since either damage to gun or a potentially dangerous condition can result, a shooter should stop firing if the gunshot sounds radically different from the one before it. If a bullet happened to hit another bullet while in flight, the two bullets would deform, change direction, and drop to the ground.
Can you curve bullets like in Wanted?
Simply NO, a bullet can never be curved from the path. Strong winds might deviate it from its path but can’t curve like in the movie Wanted (2008) and the deviation is also negligible.
Why curving a bullet is impossible?
The Magnus effect requires the moving object to spin, which a bullet actually does! Bullets do not simply bust out of guns but are forced to move through an oddly shaped barrel, giving the bullet a slight spin. The bullet cannot deviate its path to such an extent that it makes an ‘S’ curve around an object.
Can flies dodge bullets?
Yes. Since smaller animals (with slower metabolic rates) view the world in slow motion, they can dodge bullets. In research, scientists measured different animals perception of a flashing light. Flies could percieve light four times faster than you humans.
