The CCI .22 CB Short and .22 CB Long use the same 29-grain bullet as the regular .22 Short and .22 Long. The CCI CB rounds have muzzle velocities of 720 feet per second (ft/s) for an impact energy of 33 foot/pounds (ft-lb). The standard .22 Short and .22 Long fire the same bullet weight at 1,045 ft/s for 70 ft-lb.
The .22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire, also known as the .22 WMR, .22 Magnum, .22 WMRF, .22 MRF, [2] or .22 Mag, is a rimfire cartridge.Originally loaded with a bullet weight of 40 grains (2.6 g) delivering velocities in the 2,000 feet per second (610 m/s) range from a rifle barrel, .22 WMR is now loaded with bullet weights ranging from 50 grains (3.2 g) at 1,530 feet per second (470 m/s) to 30 ...
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 Hornet or 5.6×36mmR Hornet [2] is a varminting, small-game hunting, survival and competition centerfire rifle cartridge commercially introduced in 1930. It is considerably more powerful than the rimfire.22 WMR and the .17 HMR, achieving higher velocity with a bullet twice the weight of the .17 HMR bullet.
The .22 LR and related .22 rimfire cartridges use a heeled bullet, where the external diameter of the case is the same as the diameter of the forward portion of the bullet and where the rearward portion of the bullet, which extends into the case, is necessarily smaller in diameter than the main body of the bullet.
Weighing less and delivering higher velocities than the 9mm, the .22 TCM is also compared to calibers like the 7.62×25mm Tokarev and FN 5.7×28mm. These characteristics make it viable for lightweight and compact personal defense weapons (PDWs), such as AR-15-style pistols, akin to those conceptualized in the Colt MARS Program. [14]
A silencer, also known as a sound suppressor, suppressor, or sound moderator, is a muzzle device that suppresses the blast created when a gun (firearm or airgun) is discharged, thereby reducing the acoustic intensity of the muzzle report (sound of a gunshot) and jump, by modulating the speed and pressure of the propellant gas released from the ...
The .22-250 is similar to, but was outperformed by, the larger .220 Swift cartridge. However, it is in much wider use and has a larger variety of commercially available factory ammunition than the Swift, making it generally cheaper to shoot. The smaller powder load also contributes to more economical shooting for users who load their own ...
