They didn't try a spinning bullet.

You don't need a force to change direction, if you have air and speed.

gravity can, exsept u cant crate gravity, but if u shot one across a black hole, it ould curve and go into it, even light itself is curved and sucked in

@nzekulman ya but that takes a couple hundread yards unless gravity is higher. but it would be cool

A bullet will fly a straight line from the barrel, sure, but if the barrel is moving laterally relative to the target the bullet will actually fly a vector of both motions together. I guess you can call this "curving" a bullet, but that's kinda just hollywooding. It is quite possible hit a target slightly behind an obstacle like this. In order to get any sort of pronounced effect, you'd probably have to be using fairly slow ammo and shoot from the side of a car window at very high speed.
