Describing a pistol ...
"consegui en el mercado negro de armas una pistola 9mm marca C2 era 'gorobeta', en ese instante me sentia un Tony Montana, revolver a la cintura y mi pistola C2 'gorobeta' a la espalda".
Thanks :-) (Sorry for all the queries - this is a rather long text, and now I'm going through all the items I can't figure out...)

berreta
In Colombia, "gorobeta" is a type of sugar cane. Since it sounds somewhat like "berreta", it could be a localism.
Berreta makes a 9mm model C2, see:

bent
My source is a retired sociologist. She said she has known the word for many, many years. The Spanish equivalent she gave is 'torcido-a'. It could be that the sugar cane called 'gorobeta' is bent or bends easily.
