Arkansas Hunters Ed Practice Exam

Question: 1 / 400

What causes bullets to spin when shot from a rifle or handgun?

Gravity

Rifling

Rifling is the correct answer because it refers to the spiral grooves inside a gun's barrel. As the bullet travels through the barrel, it is forced to spin due to the rifling. This spin helps stabilize the bullet in flight, making it more accurate. Gravity, the shape of the bullet, and air resistance may affect the bullet's trajectory, but they do not cause it to spin.
