Projectile Curving

[jackssmirkingrevenge]

It wasn't a stupid movie, there was Jolie posterior And who could fault thekeyboard scene?

...where the assassins had a (fictional) technique to curve pistol projectiles.

I think it could be done. If you're swinging the barrel round as you shoot, you're imparting a sideways motion that should continue after the projectile leaves the barrel (in the same way that a bomb continues to move forward after being dropped from an aircraft) so in theory I think the idea is conceivable.

I don't think hop up will work simply because the projectile is not a sphere.

Argh..... just a guess i think this is ur problem

I've had very poor luck with bananas. I tend to just get banana spray more than anything that looks like a projectile. It may work at greatly reduced pressure. I'll have to try it.

Your being too heavy with the blender there mate.

My assumption was that his ammo was a sphere, otherwise you are correct.

My favorite part about it when he goes" that's my best friend"
And the guy was banging his girl...
I stated it was an OK action if you're in a silly mood.
Sort of like "Shoot 'em up" also IMO.

I sense a potential "mythbuster's" topic.
maybe someone should email them on it(?) 8)

It would be fun watching them try to break Newton's first law of motion.

Inertia's a bitch.

The Mythbusters actually just tested this one, and the new episode aired today. And, yes, they deemed the "Wanted" bullet curving myth busted.

EDIT: Cherynoble beat my to it
