[QUOTE="Coyote_Hunter, post: 1842746, member: 110773"] A note to clarify my previous post, which rely didn't answer the question "Can you 'throw' a bullet to shoot around an obstacle?" The answer is implicit in my post - you cannot: a bullet will continue in a straight line UNLESS acted on by another force. That external force could be spin or wind drift, or gravity, or maybe something else, but the external force is required. The problem is a bullet is far too massive. When you get down to firing sub-atomic scales you get wave-like behavior that changes everything when if comes to hitting an obstructed target - no lateral motion on the part of the source and no external force is required. This has been demonstrated many times since the early 1800's using light and a double slit setup. So get out your billion-dollar, man-portable peta-watt laser gun. And your double-slit device. :) [/QUOTE]
