What he does is still only based on his knowledge of GK though....Which doesn't include knowledge of curved bullets so he can't counter them...He can use what knowledge and skills he does have and he will no doubt avoid some of the shots because of it but that's no longer entirely through his mastery of GK and would rely more considerably on luck rather than statistics.
You and DDM can argue til you're blue in the face that the difference in trajectories is minimal but the film proves you wrong for the 3 scenes I've already stated...Mr X's shot on the roof that turns a full 90 degrees at the last split second to hit his target...Wesley's train roof assassination and Fox's full 360 curve in a relatively small room shows that the bullet can come from any angle including behind the opponent.
You can also ignore and mock our repetition of traditional trajectories but that's exactly what GK is based on and it's stated explicitly on screen. There's no getting around it...He can't avoid for certain what he can't predict....Simple as that.
You're just wrong...I even get the impression that you know you're wrong but you've dug yourself in to that much of a hole that you can't stop now.
