[QUOTE="Coyote_Hunter, post: 1842087, member: 110773"] Physics is physics. If you apply a lateral motion to the bullet, that motion will continue until stopped by friction in the air or collision with some other object. Newton's 1st law of Motion applies. The question therefore becomes not "Can you shoot around an obstacle?" but rather how to design a test setup that would show such motion. Testing in outer space could help a lot. As a practical matter, slower bullets and greater lateral motion would make the lateral motion more visible, as would greater distance between the obstacle and the target. [/QUOTE]
