A bullet is loaded into the chamber. When the trigger is pulled the firing pin pops out and strikes the backside of the bullet. The primer
in the bullet makes a spark that sets off the gunpowder in the bullet casing. The gunpowder explodes and sends the lead projectile (Slug) out of the casing and out through the rifle's long barrel. The barrel has spiral grooves (Rough bore) inside so as the bullet passes through it the friction will cause the bullet to spin in a spiral rotation like a football thrown by a quarterback. This spiral helps keep the bullet flying straight in the direction and hit with more accuracy and precision.
In an automatic rifle the empty bullet casing will be automatically ejected by a moving bolt on a spring and a new bullet loaded from the magazine clip. For a bolt or lever action rifle the user must do this by hand.

When you pull the trigger a metal 'firing pin' strikes the cartridge which detonates the gunpowder packed in the casing. The rapidly expanding gasses from this mini-explosion push the projectile or 'slug' down the barrel of the rifle, which has twisting grooves scratched in the inside of it to make the projectile spin, giving it more stability in its flight path. High powered rifles can fire a bullet at up to 4000 feet per second.

An important characteristic of a rifle is that it has a spiraled Barrel.
This gives the bullet spin, much like a top or a frisbee, or a bicycle wheel, and keeps it more accurate.

It works the same as small handguns, except rifles have longer barrels.
