Gravity and wind can curve a bullets path given enough time and or distance…try firing a bullet into a tornado and see if it curves

nice reading but not understanding.its spiral is not a projectile but its movement (consider earth rotate while orbiting the sun).but yes,due to this movement,some applied force might result differently but the main reason the experiment (and most of self tried experiment) failed is because the bullet can only bended if you can tap its side after it get out from muzzle (within muzzle,the muzzle wall will counter any force and make the bullet move in a straight line).how to tap it,your timing must same with the bullet speed as it reach muzzle end and tap it with muzzle edge.

air gun and normal gun are different.but since while giving your result you include supposedly unknown bullet speed you are actually BSing based on theoretical only.
like i have mentioned (and Paul Malley did) to bend a bullet by reckless swing is useless.even if u use air gun..because gyroscope or what so ever,your swing force will actually neutralise by normal force exerted by muzzle wall.

i think you meet the wrong engineer coz i never say so.but as you proudly speak,in any event you did curve the bullet,fell free to share a video link with us..

good explanation.true.that’s why to make it bend your force must be applied when the bullet reach end of muzzle.with that,the natural force from muzzle wall are no more to counter your applied force.
it just like your bullet hit an obstacle by it SIDE (not tip) and there you go a curve (not a deflection).

true..you are just right.

they just stupidly making havoc.seriously,what the heck with a cramp of glasses on one spot.are they thinking they are pro that can launch sonic boom at any point as they please?

unless you mistaken deflect and curve,your story are not making sense.
the only way to justify you make a curve is not how long “the curve” because a curve will return to originate and continue to oppose original direction.

way to go man.yeah, you are totally right.they dont actually sketch their move before they experimenting.plus,hey this is high frequency sound..human voice alone can break a glass how can sonic boom not?

well if you learn sciene from MB only then you wouldnt know how large a universe is.gravity power is so great that it can inverse time bro..can any electromagnet or nuclear bend time?gravity is still a mysterious force that we couldnt combine a single formula for nuclear with gravity not like electromagnet with nuclear in quantum physic.
