And that argument stands. DDM and I have made it pretty simple.Thing is, the one scene where a bullet was shown curving with such severity was when the bullet was fired from a flintlock pistol. Screen feats, dude. Why else would the fraternity employ such impractical weapons? Is it coincidence that X used the flintlock to make the shot? He had a Beretta already drawn, dude. Why the second pistol?
No, that argument doesn't stand, either does this one, yet here you are arguing that moving left or right will someone put a person out of the path of a bullet coming from their left or right, that's outright lunacy or idiocy. Might as well argue that moving forward will allow you to avoid a bullet coming straight at you.
Because the film was stylish and the flint locks, wheel locks and all the older guns were to illustrate that the fraternity had been at it for a very long time. Guns passed down from assassin to assassin; generation to generation. Sorry you missed the point, but that was it.
