Rifled gun
A rifled gun is a type of firearm that has spiral grooves cut into the inside of its barrel. These grooves, known as rifling, cause the bullet to spin as it travels down the barrel, which stabilizes its flight and improves accuracy. This design allows for greater range and precision compared to smoothbore guns, which lack rifling.
Rifled guns can be found in various forms, including rifles, handguns, and shotguns. The rifling pattern can vary, influencing the bullet's performance. Overall, rifled guns are widely used in hunting, sport shooting, and military applications due to their enhanced accuracy.
