More accurately, it would be IN a rifle- inside the barrel. If you look through the EMPTY barrel of a rifle or pistol, you will see spiral lines- the rifling. It consists of GROOVES- the lines cut into the barrel- and LANDS- the part of the barrel between the grooves.
The barrel of a rifle is characterized by rifling, helical grooves that impart spin on the bullet, stabilizing the projectile in flight.
