I'm not sure that you need to introduce that kind of axial spin to achieve greater accuracy. I would imagine it would be best, but very difficult. Air Soft guns use a system called Hop Up, where spin is put onto the pellet to increase accuracy and range. I do not believe that it gives spin in the direction rifling would, but rather, in a axis perpendicular to the direction of travel.
