FULL SCRIPT:
If you bend the barrel of a tank and fire a shell, most people think it would just explode. But the Nazis actually tried bending the barrels of smaller guns like rifles, which allowed them to shoot around corners. So, a tank barrel that works similarly to a rifle should work the same way. However, tank shells are heavier, and to fire them, you need a bigger explosion inside the barrel. All of that makes it impossible for a shell to change its direction. So it will get stuck and due to the high pressure gases explode.
