Is it scientifically possible to curve a bullet?

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 bullets collided in mid air?

During the Civil War, two soldiers’ bullets collided in midair and fused together. 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.

Who invented smart bullets?

The system has been developed by DARPA’s Extreme Accuracy Tasked Ordnance program, known as EXACTO. “True to DARPA’s mission, EXACTO has demonstrated what was once thought impossible: the continuous guidance of a small-caliber bullet to target,” said Jerome Dunn, DARPA program manager.

How fast is a bullet in seconds?

“The velocity (speed) of rifle bullets varies between 600 and 5000 feet (180 and 1500 meters) per second. Some bullets can hit targets as far away as 6000 yards (5000 meters).”

Can someone really curve a bullet?

Wind and the rotation of the earth can slightly curve the path of a bullet, if the shot is long enough. But really no, there is no way to curve the bullet on purpose. Paintballs on the other hand can be curved and its cheating in most tournaments haha.

Is it possible to deflect a bullet?

While bones can stop a bullet if you’re lucky enough so that the bullet would hit there, they’re still not strong enough to deflect it. Steel can deflect bullets but even then, it often happens in rare circumstances and steel is much stronger and resilient than the human bone.

Is a heavier bullet more “accurate”?

Theoretically the heavier bullet is more accurate because it has a longer bearing surface. But there are other variables so your gun may do better withother weights. “The most accurate factory load in .45ACP is Federal’s 185 SWC match, which is a good bit lighter than standard 230 grain.”.

How do you curve a bullet?

In mathematics, a bullet-nose curve is a unicursal quartic curve with three inflection points, given by the equation. The bullet curve has three double points in the real projective plane, at x=0 and y=0, x=0 and z=0, and y=0 and z=0, and is therefore a unicursal (rational) curve of genus zero.
