Hi all,

I've just seen the new movie 'Wanted'....
In the movie, morgan freeman says that a bullet could be made to fly in a curve line rather than in a straight line... He actually makes it happen!!

I know it's a movie but is that really possible???!!!

Since you know it is a movie, then you should also know what they can do with special effects. Can you really ask if it is possible with a straight face? Bullets do travel in a curved line, thanks to gravity.

Haven't seen the movie myself, and probably won't. But I want to comment on the above statement- "He actually makes it happen!!"

Kevish, in the movie does anyone get 'killed'?
Do you think it 'actually happened' and the actor is dead? Really, truly dead? Of course not! Same with 'curving a bullet'.

There's a sticky post at the top of this board addressing these posts. If you want to discuss this, you may want to do it there.

just think how lightning fast you would have to move even if it was possible, and even if you pushed enough to move it like in the movie it still would not fall fast enough to even get back on course to hit its target.

Bullets travel in curved paths called trajectories. Always. At short range the curve may not be measurable. In reference to the movie, no, not possible.
