[iydtziat] Curved magnetic bullet

Launch a magnetic bullet out of a gun to achieve a curving bullet effect.  Not clear how to control it, as the bullet's orientation may change as it flies.  Rifling maintains an unhelpful axis. Inspired by the pellet-like now-recalled permanent magnets popular nowadays.

Alternatively, launch a ferromagnetic bullet through a strong magnetic field.

A solution in search of a problem.
