Rifling: History & Art
Rifling is the term for helical grooves machined into the internal surface of a firearm's barrel for imparting a spin to the fired projectile to improve its aerodynamic stability and accuracy. It is also the term (as a verb) for creating such grooves. Firearms without rifling are called smoothbore.

Important terminology
Frequent words and multi-word phrases across the lead, headings, infobox and body. Useful for terminology coverage.
Use these terms to understand the vocabulary surrounding the topic, not as a checklist for keyword stuffing.
Relationships are represented as Subject → Predicate → Object triples. Confidence describes extraction strength, not the real-world importance of a relationship; lower-confidence rows may be contextual rather than explicit.
