Bullets spin when fired from a rifle or handgun due to the rifling inside the barrel. Rifling consists of helical grooves that create a twist as the bullet travels through the barrel, imparting a rotational force. This spin stabilizes the bullet's flight, allowing for greater accuracy and range by maintaining its trajectory. The design ensures that the bullet remains pointed in the direction of travel, reducing wobble and improving precision.

Bullets spin when shot from a rifle or handgun. What causes this spinning?
Bullets spin when fired from a rifle or handgun due to the rifling inside the barrel, which consists of spiral grooves. As the bullet is forced through the barrel by the expanding gases from the ignited gunpowder, these grooves grip the bullet and impart a rotational motion. This spin stabilizes the bullet in flight, improving accuracy and trajectory by helping it resist external forces like wind and gravity.
