The bullet cannot deviate its path to such an extent that it makes an 'S' curve around an object. In fact, the bullet would be moving so swiftly that the effect is negligible. It is so negligible, in fact, that the strongest force amongst all those acting on the bullet is still gravity!
To curve a bullet the enemy is first targeted with the Curved Bullet button. The enemy is then locked onto and will remain so even if it returns to hiding behind cover.

The path of a bullet is influenced by various factors, such as the velocity of the bullet, the angle at which the firearm is aimed, and external forces such as wind resistance. These factors can cause the bullet to travel in a curved path known as a trajectory.
Bullets do not typically follow a straight line to the target. Rotational forces are in effect that keep the bullet off a straight axis of flight.
Once it reaches its apogee, the bullet will fall. Air resistance limits its speed, but bullets are designed to be fairly aerodynamic, so the speed is still quite lethal if the bullet happens to hit someone. In rural areas, the chance of hitting someone is remote because the number of people is low.
Weapons on sets vary. Some are rubber props (used for shots when actors are far in the distance) and others are airsoft guns that fire nonlethal pellets. Often, however, productions use real guns. Studios prefer to digitally create the actual firing in postproduction whenever possible.
Live ammunition was used in the film - in interviews, actor Aleksey Kravchenko has described actual bullets passing some 10 centimeters above his head.
Some industry professionals say there are a few reasons banning the use of guns on sets might not be practical for all productions, especially independent projects working with small budgets or tiny crews. In general, CGI adds costs to a production's budget, and adding visual effects to shots can take months.
Regardless of your speed and finesse, no human can dodge a bullet at close range. The bullet is simply traveling too fast. Even the slowest handguns shoot a bullet at 760 miles per hour, SciAm explains.
No, bullets can not curve. In WW2 Germans made Stg44 attachmetns to shoot around the corner. Those assault rifles had curved barrrels. But in those, like any rilfe, the bullet still flies straight into direction the direction the mount of the barrel is facing.
The spark from the primer ignites the gunpowder. Gas converted from the burning powder rapidly expands in the cartridge. The expanding gas forces the bullet out of the cartridge and down the barrel with great speed. The rifling in the barrel causes the bullet to spin as it travels out of the barrel.
It's always OK to spin a bullet faster than recommended, but not slower. One caveat is if the bullet is on the verge of failure, a much faster twist rate may put it over the edge but this is a rare problem.
While more powerful handgun cartridges, such as the . 500 Bushwhacker, have emerged since, they are only available in custom firearms, and the . 500 S&W remains the most powerful production handgun cartridge.
The rounded shape lets them avoid air resistance so they can travel without losing too much velocity.
Any film industry armourer is handling real guns that become prop guns only by virtue of the fact that they're loaded with blank cartridges on set (or, if the scene doesn't call for the gun to be fired, they might have the firing pin removed).

Wax bullets are not normally lethal, and will not penetrate sturdy walls, so they are safe to use indoors or in situations where live ammunition is dangerous due to risk of overpenetration, stray bullets and ricochets.
Plastic bullets are generally used for riot control. Some plastic bullets are intended to be skip fired, hitting the ground and ricocheting into the intended target; while others were designed to be fired directly into the target.
Most pistol bullets are made of a lead-antimony alloy encased in a soft brass or copper-plated soft steel jacket. In rifle and machine-gun bullets, a soft core of lead is encased in a harder jacket of steel or cupronickel.
Most bullets cannot penetrate a brick wall unless it is fired from a high-powered weapon such as an assault rifle or sniper rifle. However, depending on the thickness, density, and composition of the bricks in the wall, some bullets may be able to penetrate a brick wall if fired with enough force and accuracy.
Bullets often lodge in roofs, causing minor damage that requires repair in most cases. Normally, the bullet will penetrate the roof surface through to the roof deck, leaving a hole where water may run into the building and cause a leak.
If the bullet damages a major artery or the heart, death may occur almost instantaneously; however, some people are lucky and survive a gunshot wound if nothing critical is damaged.
