That's what the man said. I have no idea whether valid, or not.

It was kind of a facetious question, and the answer is no, despite what some think. Bullets are traveling at speeds in excess of 1,000 mph at times, their boundary layer at that speed is basically the thickness of the bullet. The only real fixes are boat tailed projectiles and finning (think arrows and missiles), each serving a different purpose.
