Cartoons Were Right? Bending a Rifle's Barrel Backward Will Actually Redirect a Bullet:
In an experiment you should never, ever try at home, the experimenters at YouTube's DemolitionRanch found that if you were strong enough to bend the barrel of a rifle back on itself (a clever maneuver Bugs Bunny often pulled on Elmer Fudd) the bullet would actually follow the curved path.
[...] For DemolitionRanch's latest firearms experiment, it goes one step beyond what The Mythbusters tested[*] and bent the barrel of an automatic rifle almost 180 degrees backward so that it points back at someone unfortunate enough to be holding the weapon. [...] They built a remote rig to safely test what would happen.
[...] when the rifle was fired remotely, the bullet exited the barrel at its business end

AC you replied to here.
I was curious, so I translated it.
I guess it can be amusing either way. I was just thinking "No truth in a <newspaper called truth>, no news in a <newspaper called news>" might have been what you meant, rather than "no news in a <newspaper called truth>, no truth in a <newspaper called news>"
But it's your sig not mine. And well done.
I just thought it interesting enough to comment.
It's definitely amusing, but I am easily amused. :)
