Best Answer

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.

What is the Difference between rim fire and center fire rifles?

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.

What is the difference between an air rifles and a rim fire rifles?

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.
