“Each time in history that a society has tried to materialize a utopic vision of a perfect world, it has produced the most brutal and criminal regimes.” – Mario Vargas Llosa

Here's another mosquito for ya. This thing is SICK:



Theoretically, sure. Baffle strikes happen with off-center suppressors and destabilized bullets. It can happen. Just a question of how rapidly the barrel would have to be moved in order for the can to contact the exiting bullet.
Who takes a .22lr to a firefight?
Sorry Scott, Mythbusters busted that theory with the curving bullet lie from another crappy Hollywood movie.

In case anyone is curious about a lightning link:
They're registered items and sell for aroudn $7000.00 for the little piece of metal.

EDIT: Before I get challenged for saying the bullet travels in a straight path, I do understand ballistics. I'm treating it as a straight path since we're talking about distances of 6"-8" from the end of the muzzle.
I postulate that a gun with a very slightly curved barrel, with spherical ammunition, and a sort of "ribbing" inside of the barrel instead of "rifling" whereby the movement of the spherical bullet through the relatively lose bore of the barrel created a strong sideways rotation (much like a baseball player throws a curve ball, or a ping pong player slaps the ball with a strong left-to-right motion to put a ridiculous curve on the ping pong ball) instead of the normal rifled spin, while not being extremely accurate, could actually produce a noticeable curvature of the projectile.
