By curving the barrel:
Here’s how they bend the barrel in Adam’s sword forge. LOL only Adam would have a sword forge… dude has so many hobbies, interests, and lots of money to match:
Interesting that the 45 degree barrel speed and the 90 degree barrel speed was the same. Or is that not interesting? Sometimes I think I forget all the university physics I took in order to make way for other stuff, so simple things that impress me probably shouldn’t.

I wish I had Adam’s money or was just friends with him. He is into a lot of the same stuff I am.
Not sure why this is a myth? The US Army had dabbled in bent barrel shooting guns in WWII. They modified an M3 grease gun with (what looks like) a 90 degree bent barrel for shooting around corners and such. IIRC, those barrels got trashed after a couple hundred rounds through them and weren’t very accurate, hence why it never caught on.
If that was already covered in the Myth Busters episode, whatever, I didn’t see that particular one :)
Stopped watching these morons 7 years ago after they both went on nbc in LA to state everyone doesn’t need guns.
…..except for cops etc.
Ugh I missed that. I’ll have to google it in a minute thanks.
Didn’t I see something on the History Channel about this. That the Germans during WW2 used a bent barrel on like an SG44 so tankers could spray down the side of a tank from inside the tank.
Yeah this. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krummlauf
