No. A cross wind will cause it to curve slightly on the horizontal plane and gravity will make it curve vertically, but you cannot MAKE it curve unless you possess powers of telekinesis.

A bullet fired horizontally has how many forces acting on it after leaving the rifle?
It has gravity pulling it down, inertia pushing it forward, the spin of the bullet causing it to curve VERY slightly, and air resistance slowing it down.
Is it possible to curve a bullet?
No. The MythBusters had a segment in Episode 123 (Original Air Date: June 10, 2009) and "Busted" this myth. They discovered that a bullet is traveling too fast for a flick of the arm or wrist to alter the trajectory. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p3MsILLzxXA
What kind of curve does a projectile make?
Parabolic curve
How close do you have to be to a bullet to hear it go through the air?
Depends on the speed of the bullet, air temp and humidity. I hsve been about 6 feet from the path of a high powered rifle bullet, and you can hear the crack caused by the bullet breaking the sound barrier.
How long does it take for a bullet fired into the air to come down?
after a bullet is shot in the air it travels 4,000 ft in the air and takes 59 seconds to a minute to come down
Would the long range bullet that Cross used in Wanted work?
I was looking for the answer to that myself also. However I think not, why make something as simple as a bullet that complicated. Also u cannot curve a bullet.
How do you curve an airsoft bullet?
You put on the hop-up.
What is the name of the movie that said curve the bullet?
wanted

Can a bullet go into your nose and out your mouth?
ya if your in a cartoon but no it will not curve trust me
If you shoot a gun can you curve the bullet?
no it is pretty impossible to cuve the bullet because if you move the gun as you pull the trigger the bullet would just move in that direction.
Why a sattellite is said to be in free fall?
Imagine firing a handgun while standing on earth with no one or thing around for the bullet to hit. The bullet will speed out of the gun, and as it moves it will trace out a curve as it gradually gets pulled to earth by the earth's gravity, and loses speed because of air resistance. It wil then fall to earth perhaps several hundred yards away. Now imagine climbing up a tall tower and doing the same thing with a high velocity rifle. The bullet will travel faster from the rifle than from the handgun but will still eventually fall to the ground under gravity and slow down because of air resistance, but in this case, the bullet might travel a mile or two before falling to the ground, and the curve its path of flight traces out will be much larger. Now imagine the satellite. When launched, the satellite travels fast like the bullet, but it will not slow down like the bullet because, as the satellite is launched into space, there is no air resistance as there is no air there. Similarly the speed at which the satellite is launched is sufficient for it to continue to fall to earth, just like the bullet, but in the satellite's case the curve it traces out is exactly the same as the curve of the earth. So, the satellite continues to freefall to earth, just like the bullets, but as the curve of the earth is exactly the same as the curve of the satellite's path, the satellite will never reach the earth. It's as if the earth was 'moving away' from the satellite as fast as it was falling towards it. This is what is meant by 'going into orbit' and it is why satellites and spacecraft have to escape the earth at great speed if they are to go into orbit. If they did not have the speed required (called the 'escape velocity') their curve of trajectory would be too small and they would fall back to earth before going into orbit.
Can someone really curve a bullet?
Not like you've seen in some movies. There are things that CAN cause a bullet to curve, but its usually an artifact in manufacturing, like an imbalance, or an unequal aerodynamic drag. All other things being equal, the direction the muzzle is pointing when the bullet leaves the barrel determines the direction the bullet will travel; a ballistics arch from that point to where it impacts.
How do you male a bullet on little alchemy?
gunpowder+metal to make gunpowder: fire+dust to make dust: earth+air

Does air pressure affect your shooting?
Yes. Denser air slows the bullet more, and lowers the strike of the bullet.
What is the effect of air resistance on the trajectory of a projectile?
Air resistance cause a bullet to slow up more than it would if the air did not affect it. (In fact, no air means no air resistance, and only gravity would affect the shot.) The effect of air is called drag, and it (the drag) results in the curve of the arc of the shot being greater. The denser the air, the more the air acts to slow the bullet. What about moving air? Like a crosswind? You'd expect a bit of breeze (or crosswind) to push a bullet in the direction that the breeze is going. But almost all modern bullets spin to give them increased stability and improve the accuracy of the shot. The rotation of the projectile, imparted by the lands or rifling in the barrel of the gun, causes the force of the crosswind to act 90 degrees later in the direction of rotation of the bullet. This results in what is called bullet rise or bullet drop. Links are provided below for more information.
