When firing a high powered rifle or a shotgun there can be a very powerful recoil. If the rifle is not held tight to the body it can slam into the body, both giving a good bruise and lowering the accuracy of the shot.

Do bullets pop when passing over head?
No, they whistle. The pop heard when firing a rifle is partly the sound of gas exiting the barrel after the bullet is out and partly the crack of the bullet breaking the sound barrier. This happens close to the muzzle, so unless you were sitting at the feet of person firing, the pop would not be anywhere near over your head. You are more likely to hear a whistle than a pop, if anything at all.

How spinning of bullet occurs in a rifle bore gun?
Spiral grooves are etched or cut into the inside of the barrel. These grooves are called rifling. As a lead bullet moves down the barrel, it heats and expands slightly. The edges of the bullet catch in the grooves and the bullet spins. The spinning motion helps the bullet to maintain a straighter course. A projectile that does not spin will begin to curve or tumble, wasting energy and moving off course. The spinning projectile keeps the nose end in front so that the bullet stays close to the target. You can actually see the effect of the spinning by firing tracer bullets at a target at least 100 yards away. The dye on the surface of the bullet leaves a visible spiral in the air which can be observed for a few moments if the light is right.
