basically I’m curious if it’s theoretically possible to add little channels or grooves into a bullet for air to flow through that would generate any amount of lift which would allow that bullet to travel further?
Just want to quickly add in really enjoying all of these responses where you guys are coming up with little “hacks”. Very fun reading all of these replies!

I’d love to see one of the gun youtubers try making a smooth-bore gun (so the bullet doesn’t spin) and special bullets with tiny spring loaded locking wings that pop out as the bullet comes out of the barrel. The bullet would need extra weight on the bottom to make sure the wings come out horizontal, and it would probably need a popup vertical stabiliser as well to stop it spinning. Now the bullet might initially be supersonic so you need wings that work in supersonic and subsonic regimes….and I’ve already wasted too much of my brain on this.
