No. MOST of them are. The most popular "22" in the world is the .22 Long rifle cartridge, which IS a rimfire- as is the .22 Short, .22 Long, .22 Extra Long (obsolete), .22 WRF, and the .22 WMR. HOWEVER- there HAVE been .22 centerfire cartridges, such as the .220 Swift, 22-250, and a European cartridge, the .22 Velo Dog. .22 caliber means that the bullet is 22/100ths of an inch in diameter. None of the centerfire rounds will interchange with the .22 LR.
Stevens 30 caliber rim fire is not a true 30 caliber. Chamber is .296. Bore .270 t0 .277. I found a 30 caliber rim fire round, at a gun show. It did not measure out to a 30 cal. Shot shooter
The Olympic air pistol and air rifle events use a .177 caliber pellet. The biathlon (skiing and shooting) uses a .22 caliber rim fire rifle.
You will have to specify if you are referring to black powder, rim fire or center fire and the weight of the projectile
A rim fire cartridge has the primer built into the rim of the shell casing. The casing must have a wide flat part at the back. A center fire has the primer in the center of the rear of the casing. The rim fire is less expensive to manufacture but is more prone to jamming. The rim fire is not suitable for rapid fire applications or rough handling.

No.
Depends on if you are talking black powder, rim fire or center fire. 300-25000 ft is ballpark .
The Ithaca rifles are rimfire. Most are .22LR, but there is at least one .22 magnum.
Maybe. They may be used to take small game, but not deer. They may not be used to hunt migratory birds, such as dove, ducks, or geese. Semi-automatic rifles may not be used. So if you want to squirrel hunt with a bolt action .22, you should be legal.
If you are referring to the 32 W.C.F. or 32 W.S. (Winchester Special), both are center fire. Bert H.
Rim Fire bullets (Rifles or guns) require a firing pin that strikes the bullet casing and the resulting explosion of gunpowder in the shell fires the bullet out of the barrel. Air guns have NO firing pin. An air valve or piston forces air or C02 into the barrel behind the pellet or BB and this shoots the projectile out of the barrel.
