		<description>Hi Anne, thanks for your ieetrnst!We have available few units of the blackberry curve 8320 and we receive new models every week, however prices vary.The best price we can give you for one unit is PHP 9990RegardsJaq</description>

		<description>Hi Dennis,Yes, it&#039;s built of wi-fi.The price of the bb curve 8320 is 9960 for 1piece.However, this unit was just sold out just last week but we will have our next set of stock of blackberry by this coinmg week or next week.Kindly, give us your contact number, so that we will inform you immediately if the phones arrive.Or you may call us at 408-0580 or sent us a text  09304799704 or 09278484378.Thank you!  Kind Regards</description>

		<description>Hi Janve- The Curve 8320 has a trackball and a iglshtly slower processor , however, it&#039;s  a great phone for the value (only PHP 9990, 1 unit)- The curve 8520 is a newer model, faster and has a trackpad instead of trackball which seems convenient for most users (PHP 14490 1 unit)I suggest you get the 8520 if you can make it.Payment is cash on pick up (see our map) or cleared bank deposit, withfree shipping anywhere in the RPcheersJaq</description>

		<description>Yeah, I saw you, Syn, and some other FR&#039;ers + friends on my list, but you guys are never on. I had to letensialsy learn and play with the  Wave  by my lonesome.</description>

		<description>Curving a bullet is definitely possible (beyond natural trajectory from gravity).  The question is how much can it be curved and can it be done with any accuracy at all.

To curve a bullet:

You need to spin the bullet in a manner other than the traditional rotational effect you get from rifling the barrel---that being a rotational angle 90 degrees to the path of the bullet.

To do this, you need to remove the rifling from the barrel first.  Second, you much use a round bullet and probably one with some sort of dimpling (like a golf ball) to increase air friction.  Third, and most important is you need to characterize one side of the barrel so that it generates more friction against one side of the bullet thus creating the bullet to spin sideways by being &quot;drug&quot; slower on one side as it propels down the rifling.  You could characterize the barrel any number of ways, you could have half the barrel lined with a different materal or you could simply roughen one side.

If you wanted even more curvature you could make the barrel and bullet slightly flattened to ensure the spin angle (however this could make the weapon very dangerous to fire and a remote firing mechanism should definitely be utilized).

If a man can curve a golf ball with a club, he can darn well curve a bullet if he can control the forces involved and understands the physics involved.  The big question is how much curvature is achievable.  If golf balls are curving roughly up to ~30+ degrees off of the original trajectory I suspect a bullet can achieve similar results, but as it travels so much faster the distance to measure the curvature needs to be significant and a 50 yard firing range in a police basement (like the show) is likely insufficient to support or disprove the trick if someone wanted to try my approach. 

Flinging your arm to participate in the curvature is ridiculous.</description>

		<description>are u kidding me? anyone who shoots will in some way shape or form curve a bullet.  ITS CALLED TRAJECTORY</description>

		<description>You need using skills or can get yourself i suggest low velocity with. 38 caliber light weight for short distance but dangerous do that could hit yourself. My advisory do not try that at home.</description>

		<description>if you toss an orange out of a car at 80mph the orange would hit a street sign at 80mph. you would have to toss it early, this could be tested with a bullet from a gun, put the weapon in motion first, like on a high speed rail, then fire. then you have two velocities working together. this is my only explanation since we can&#039;t slow time down. if the weapon on the rail is traveling fast enough before fired, you could calculate exactly what you could shoot &quot;around&quot; and you could hit a target behind a target. whoa.</description>
