sorry to ask a stupid question i guess
is the .22 ammo used in revolvers,pistols and rifles the same. or does the size and power of the ammo vary from different class of weapon in the same calibre?
if possible can someone post a link to different kinds of .22 ammo used in different class of weapons.
what is .22 highpower? i heard someone talking abt it.
plz help.

.22 Highpower is a centrefire cartridge and cannot be used in those firearms chambered for .22lr which happens to be a rimfire cartridge.

.22lr rounds are available as sub-sobic, standard velocity, high velocity and hyper velocity rounds and either have a solid or hollow point bullet. Rifles, pistols and revolvers chambered for .22lr can fire any of the above. However, some manufacturers prefer that hgh and hyper velocity rounds are not used in some or all of their pistols.

Firearms chambered for .22lr can also fire .22 Short and .22 Long cartridges.

Mack The Knife.. there is one shorter version of the .22 used for Rapid firing. Is this the .22 short? I thought it was called .22 Rapid

They used to use .22 Short for the Rapid Fire discipline, however, they have now switched to .22lr

i saw a .22 wichester rifle and fired a single shot, the bullet was longer than what is loaded in a .32 pistol but thinner.
the same bullet can be used in the revolver and pistol ....if i am not wrong.

.22 lr means .22 long range it is all ways rimfire

.22 lr stands for 'Long Rifle'

Centerfire means that the primer is placed at the center of the base of the bullet. Therefore, the firing pin will have to strike the center position of the bullet to ignite it.

In Rim fire, the primer is around the 'rim' of the base of the bullet. Here, the firing pin will strike the rim of the bullet to ignite the primer.

Primer is the chemical that initiates the burning of the main charge powder within the bullet - impact-sensitive substance that produces the spark to ignite the gunpowder. When this charge is ignited, the substance inside the bullet will explode. This will result in a great pressure formed, and since the back and sides of the bullet is covered, by the bolt and the chamber, respectfully, the only way for this explosion to grow is thru the front. This will then discharge thru the front propelling the front part of the bullet (The front lead in the case of the .22).

Hope I git that across right

Even after flying 400 yards (370 m), a stray .22 bullet is still traveling at approximately 500 feet (150 m) per second, which can inflict a very serious wound, and a standard .22 cartridge can have a ballistic range of up to a mile and a half (2400 m) if fired into the air.

i dint know this!!!! source - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.22LR

in the safety lectures of a rifle training course i attended, the instructors mentioned an accidental fatality from a rimfire, shot almost a mile away from the victim

Yes... its all a matter of air density, angle of penetration and area of penetration. Problem with the .22 LR is that it is a pure lead front without a jacket, and impact can send pieces of lead in many directions of the body...
