Does the spiraling barrel of an m-16 cause the bullet to tumble?
This spiraling is called rifling. This imparts a stabilizing spin to a projectile. The M16 has a very tight spiral, but the bullet shouldn't tumble until it hits a target. If you picture a bullet, when the narrow tip first hits a target, it will cause the rest of the bullet to tumble, end over end, and often fragment as well.

What are bullets called that hunters use to hunt with?
I don't quite know what you mean, I'm going to assume your asking what a hunting bullet is called, it is still just called a Bullet, the piece that actually hits the hunted animal is called the projectile if that helps.
What is the magnitude of the velocity of a vertical projectile at its maximum height is equal to?
The horizontal component of a projectile's velocity doesn't change, until the projectile hits somethingor falls to the ground.The vertical component of a projectile's velocity becomes [9.8 meters per second downward] greatereach second. At the maximum height of its trajectory, the projectile's velocity is zero. That's the pointwhere the velocity transitions from upward to downward.
What is a round in a gun?
bullet?Well, a bullet is PART of a round of ammunition. It is actually one CARTRIDGE. A catridge consists of the cartridge case, primer, powder, and bullet. The bullet is the part that is fired out of the barrel.For some purists, the term "round" refers to a shot or a bullet after it is shot. For most other people a "round" refers to one cartridge of ammunition.Think of it this way: The ammunition manufacturer loads a bullet into a case to make a cartridge. The shooter loads the cartridge into the firearm and pulls the trigger, firing a shot or a round AKA sending a round downrange. The bullet then hits the target.
What are the Differences between the cartridge and the bullet?
The bullet is the lead, or copper coated lead, slug that leaves the barrel and (sometimes) hits the target. The cartridge is the casing (usually brass) which holds the powder, and the bullet, assembled together into one complete round of ammunition. Cartridge goes into chamber of firearm, is detonated by the firing pin, and the powder burns very fast, sending the bullet out of the barrel. PLEASE be careful with firearms and use them responsibly.
What hits the primer of a cartridge and initiates firing the bullet?

If you drop a bullet and it hits the ground will it explode?
Bullets have no explosives. You may be thinking of a cartridge, which is a case, powder, primer, and bullet. It is very unlikely that the cartridge will do much of anything, but if the primer is struck hard enough, it can make a loud bang, but is unlikely to hurt anyone.
How does a rifle work?
The rifle works off the idea of any firearm. Although different from the idea of the shotgun, the rifle uses cuts and raises in the barrel to spin the projectile. The 'rifling' is turned in clockwise or counter clockwise fashion. When the projectile is spinning, it is far more accurate because of the repeating motion.
