The .22 rimfire is a very old cartridge, going back to the days of black powder. In about the 1930s, cartridge companies began loading higher speed cartridges. These were designated HS to distinguish them from the older era ammo. Most standard ammo today would be classed as HS. Would NOT use HYPERVELOCITY ammo, such as Stingers or Yellowjackets in a firearm marked HS.

How many rounds can an assault rifle fire before it is to worn out and will no longer work?

It all depends on maintenance, what sort of succession the rounds are fired in, and so forth. If you try putting 1,000 rounds through a rifle as quickly as possible, you'll destroy that rifle in a very short period of time. However, with proper maintenance and fire discipline, you can put significantly more rounds through them. When the US Army evaluated the HK416, FN SCAR-L, M4 carbine, Robinson Arms XCR, and HK XM8 in 2007, each rifle was used in that evaluation to fire 60,000 rounds, and none of them suffered catastrophic failure.
