When a bullet spins (due to rifling in a barrel), it experiences gyroscopic stability, which reduces the effects of factors like wind and minor disturbances during flight. This stabilization makes the bullet's trajectory more consistent, thus improving its accuracy. Range is more related to initial velocity and ballistic coefficient, speed is determined by the propellant and barrel, and impact (force) is related to mass and velocity, not spin for improvement.
