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.

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.

Is it possible to curve a bullet with any type of firearm?

Bullets do not fly straight. They travel in a predictable ballistic arc but could not be curved in a controlled fashion.Answer:Bullets, like golf balls, can be made to veer left, right, up or down by inducing a spin on the projectile as it leaves the barrel. Pitchers in baseball can do the same "trick". This is especially true for smooth bore rifles where a slight curve in the barrel or a sudden movement in the barrel as the bullet travels down it can alter the spin.This directionality is due to Bernoulli's principle. The side of the bullet spinning into the direction of travel has less atmospheric pressure on it and the bullet moves towards the lower pressure.Scientists studying the effect in the 1800's would amaze their friends by shooting around card in the middle of the range to hit a card directly behind the card at the end of the range.Modern artillery hells are steerable from the ground with the use of deployable fins. This allows the shell to be guided directly to the target with amazing accuracy.Shorter Version:It isn't possible at all the bend a bullet like in the movie "Wanted" but it is possible for a bullet to bend or curve if it is fired over a long distance due to wind resistance and gravity.Additional:I'm not sure but there was some video on bending bullet a couple years ago and if i remember right there was a piece of equipment that could actually curve the bullet but not drastically. It would move like 1 or 2cm at the most.

Can you make a bullet curve in the air?

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.
