Sorry but that is a myth created by people that doesn't understand how it really works, but please explain.
And you are also denying that if you as an example drive a car at 20 m/s and you fire a shot from that car at 90º to the right, after 1 second that shot will have gone the right (relative the direction of the shot) (about) 20 meters.
Please explain why this doesn't happen.

I suggest doing research on external ballistics for a start. Then perhaps spend five+ years as a competition shooter, 30+ years as an avid collector and shooter, then get back to me.
As to your automotive example, the projectile will not have curved to the right. It will have flown straight from the time it left the barrel. What will have happened is that your position in the car will have moved forward the 20 meters. Or are you trying to say that if you fire the weapon while travelling at that speed then miraculously stop dead, that the bullet will curve to the right?
LOL!!!
