And the bullet had to take a curved trajectory to hit Charlie’s neck.

A bullet is ALWAYS on a curved trajectory except in a vacuum unaffected by gravity.

I think sevlex meant curved as in turning slightly left or right, not curved as in dropping down to a lower level due to gravity.

Bullets don’t ‘curve’ inflight. They can and are affected by crosswinds, but it would take a helluva wind to move an ought six round moving @ 2700 fps. .22 secs time of flight, how much wind does it take to move that round in .22 secs.
