The Aguila SubSonic Sniper round uses a .22 short case with a 60-grain (3.9 g) bullet (twice the weight of the .22 short bullet and 50% heavier than a .22 long rifle bullet) giving an overall length of a .22 long rifle round, making categorizing the SSS problematic: while the SSS case size is .22 short, the firing chamber of the barrel must be ...
The standard .22 Short and .22 Long fire the same bullet weight at 1,045 ft/s for 70 ft-lb. The CB rounds are relatively quiet for short range target practice, control of small pests, or use in older .22 guns that might not be safe with modern high pressure rounds.

The .22 long rifle, also known as the .22 LR or 5.7×15mmR, [4] [5] is a long-established variety of .22 caliber rimfire ammunition originating from the United States. It is used in a wide range of firearms including rifles , pistols , revolvers , and submachine guns .
The .22 TCM, sometimes referred to informally as ".223 Short," was designed as an efficient pistol caliber, achieving velocities of approximately 2,000 feet per second (fps) from a pistol and up to 2,800 fps from a rifle.
They are short range weapons that can do little harm at distances greater than 15 to 20 m (49 to 66 ft), and are quiet when fired with snake shot, compared to standard ammunition. The guns are especially effective inside barns and sheds , because the snake shot will not injure livestock with a ricochet , or shoot holes into the roof or walls of ...
It is currently the fastest production .22 caliber round in the world with muzzle velocities as high as 4,600 feet per second (1,402 meters per second). However, the .220 Swift still holds the record as the fastest .22 caliber centerfire cartridge with a published velocity of 4,665 ft/s (1,422 m/s) using a 29-grain (1.9 g) projectile and 42 ...
The latter restricted the event to sport pistols, thereby banning .22 Short cartridge (last used in 2004 and replaced by .22 Long Rifle in 2005) as well as encircling grips and low trigger-pull weight. This caused a decline in results, as evidenced by a comparison of the world records under the pre-2005 rules (597) and post-2005 rules (593).
