A 5-groove barrel rifling has five lands and grooves, while a 6-groove barrel rifling has six lands and grooves. The number of grooves can affect the stability and accuracy of the bullet as it travels down the barrel. Generally, a 6-groove rifling may provide better grip on the bullet, leading to improved accuracy, while a 5-groove rifling may offer easier cleaning and maintenance. Ultimately, the impact on performance can vary depending on the specific firearm and ammunition used.
The rifling in a firearm is designed to cause the project (bullet) to spin, increase stability and accuracy.
Length, rifling (sometimes)
A process of putting rifling in a barrel.
Rifling causes the bullet to spin through the barrel and downrange. This spin stabilizes the bullet, allowing it to maintain a straight course to the target. Without the spin, accuracy would be dismal.
The lands and grooves in the barrel that impart spin to the projectile
Micro groove rifling is a type of barrel rifling characterized by very shallow grooves cut into the bore of a firearm's barrel. Unlike traditional rifling, which features deeper grooves, micro groove rifling typically has more grooves that are narrower and shallower, allowing for a smoother bore. This design can enhance bullet stability and improve accuracy, particularly with certain types of ammunition. It is often used in rifles and handguns to optimize performance while reducing the potential for fouling and wear.
These are the 2 terms used in describing the rifling found inside the barrel of a firearm.The word lands refers to the raised portion of the rifling,and the grooves refers to the lower portion of the rifling.By applying a hole micrometer you may determine the caliber of your firearm by measuring the distance between the 2 lands,and measuring the distance between 2 grooves.if you then compare the measurements you will find the true caliber of your firearm.
Spiral grooves cut into the inside of the barrel- known as rifling.
The spiral grooves in a guns barrel are known as rifling. Its what puts a spin on the bullet as it leaves the barrel for accuracy. The grooves are called..... well, grooves. The ungrooved part between grooves is called a land. So looking through the barrel of a rifled firearm, you will see the "lands and grooves" that make up the rifling.

When rifled, the rifling tool cuts the GROOVES. Material left between the grooves is the LANDS.
Gun is a very broad term, covering items from handguns to artillery pieces. A rifle is one type of firearm - more specifically, a long barreled firearm, designed to be fired from the shoulder, which has a barrel that has grooves cut into it (rifling, hence the name) to spin stabilise a projectile which is fired through it.
