The bore refers to the hole in the gun barrel thru which the projectile (bullet) passes. Some guns have a smooth bore, but many modern guns, both pistols and especially rifles, have a rifled bore, that is, the bore has a helical (spiral) groove that causes the projectile to spin as it flies thru the air. The diameter of the gun's bore determines the size of the bullet or shell (e.g. .22, .45, 9mm, etc.)
