MODERATORS I REALLY DONT KNOW WHERE TO POST IT. THIS MIGHT BE CONSIDERED OFFENSIVE AS IT IS NOT MUCH RELATED TO PYROTECHNICS. DELETE THIS IF YOU WANT BUT JUST TELL ME WHERE TO REPOST IT. I AM SORRY IF YOU DONT LIKE IT. I JUST NEED ANSWERs.
When a bullet is shot from a gun, first the primer ignites on pressing the trigger. Then the gunpowder present inside the bullet burns burns. When the propellant burns, the back part of it becomes lighter that the front part as the back part will burn before the front part will burn. This will increase the weight(compared to the back part) in the front part and the first part should bend down(because of its heavy weight compared to the back part) and this in turn should point the back part up. And so the bullet should soon turn and go down. Thus what should happen is that the cycle should be repeated and bullet should start rotating or become wild and go in any direction. So I want to know that wether such a problem is faced or not. If yes, how is it solved? If no, then why and whats wrong in what I said?
I am bad at explaining things so please reply if you understant anything.
MODERATORS I AM AGAIN SORRY IF THIS IS CONSIDERED OFFENSIVE OR I HAVE NOT POSTED IT AT THE CORRECT PLACE.

This gave me a serious headache, I dont know why your asking this question? After a quick lay down I realise I 'think' you seem to miss understand a bullet has a casing where the propellant is held. This is not part of the bullet and stays in the chamber untill its ejected. Oh and I will delete this as it has nothing to do with pyrotechnic chemistry!!!!!!! Aghhhhhhhh!

The chamber of the weapon supports the brass casing and prevents most movement of the round before and during firing. Improper spacing of chamber in the radial direction results in bulging or even destruction of the brass, while improper headspacing (in the axial direction of the round) can also destroy the brass, as well as eject primers into the operating mechanism of the weapon. Both cases have the possibility of dramatically raising pressures inside the weapon as well.
