(Askeri) rifling

The system of grooves in a rifled gun barrel or cannon. Shunt rifling, rifling for cannon, in which one side of the groove is made deeper than the other, to facilitate loading with shot having projections which enter by the deeper part of the grooves

The act or process of making the grooves in a rifled cannon or gun barrel

present participle of rifle

The system of grooves in a rifled gun barrel or cannon

the cutting of spiral grooves on the inside of the barrel of a firearm

The series of ridges (Lans) and grooves on the inside of the cannon barrel/tube

Arrangement of spiral grooves cut or cast into the bore of a piece to impart an axial spin to its projectile, thus giving it directional stability and greater accuracy The raised sections between grooves are called lands, and the caliber of a rifled weapon is measured from land to land rather than groove to groove Early rifled artillery pieces were muzzle-loaders; some were manufactured as rifles while others were older smoothbores modernized by having grooves cut into their bores Since fire control was still quite primitive in the 19th century, there was still a gap of some size between maximum ranges and practical shooting ranges The theoretical accuracy of a rifled gun was much greater than the capability of the means available to control its fire, except in such special situations as fortress or siege firing

{i} cutting of grooves in the barrel of a firearm; grooves in the barrel of a firearm

Most gun barrels or liners have grooves milled into them in a spiral pattern These grooves engage the Driving Bands on the projectiles and thus impart a spin to them as they leave the barrel Spinning the projectiles makes them more stable in flight which greatly increases their accuracy and range It also makes them more likely to land nose first, which very important for an armor-piercing shell The way the grooves are milled varies greatly Some manufacturers prefer a uniform pattern, others prefer grooves that vary in depth and width as they progress through the weapon Also see "Lands" above and "Twist" below

Spiral grooves in a gun's bore that spin the projectile in flight and impart accuracy Rifling is present in all true rifles, in most handguns and in some shotgun barrels designed for increasing the accuracy potential of slugs (a slug is a single projectile rather than the more common "shot" )
