What is rifling in a firearm?

  1. a device that blocks the action to prevent accidental firing.

  2. scope

  3. the design feature that cause the bullet to spiral for accuracy and distance.

  4. used to describe the size of a rifle bore and the size of cartridges designed for different bores

The correct answer is: the design feature that cause the bullet to spiral for accuracy and distance.

Rifling in a firearm is the spiral design of the barrel's interior that causes the bullet to spin as it exits the gun. This spin helps improve accuracy and distance of the bullet. Option A refers to a safety device that prevents accidental firing, which is not related to rifling. Option B refers to a scope, which is used for aiming and does not have to do with the barrel design. Option D refers to the size of the barrel and cartridges, which is not the definition of rifling itself.
