    There is a way humans can force a bullet into a curved trajectory thereby impacting a target blocked by an obstacle. Below are detailed steps that will produce a successful outcome every time. 1. Remove a bullet of any caliber or grain from its casing 2. Grip said bullet between thumb and forefinger 3. Walk with bullet-in-hand around obstacle 4. Throw bullet very quickly at target. Note: If point 4 does not achieve penetration of target, load a new, unspent (fully assembled) cartridge into a firearm. Proceed to fire at target from new location.
