Other than a toy gun or water gun, the next most powerful one a citizen can have without a permit is a "B.B. gun".
A BB gun would be more powerful
Generally, no. The size is the same, but the mass of the projectile is not. And a .22 rifle bullet is propelled by gunpowder, with a much higher muzzle velocity than an air-powered pellet.
The 17 pound gun was more powerful than the 90mm gun.
Depends on the application. If you mean power, the higher the caliber, the more powerful it is. for example, a .22 caliber rifle is much less powerful than a .50 caliber rifle.
First, it is rifle, not riffle. Second, no, or we would shoot tanks with a rifle. Cannon are more powerful. Finally, depends on the rifle. I have a .22 rifle and a .44 magnum pistol. The pistol is far more powerful than the rifle. I also have a .22 pistol, and a 30-06 rifle. The rifle is far more powerful than the pistol (in THAT example).
Yes.
"Powerful" is a subjective term. The .22 is more powerful than some cartridges, but less powerful than others. A .22 is (generally considered to be) underpowered for self defense, but it has plenty of power for small game hunting.
can you use any kind of an 22 shell like an long or short shell in an 22 gun
It depends on a couple of factors, but generally speaking, a gun.
The least powerful gun is the 22 caliber rifle.Improving answer:A ".22 short" or ".22 long" cartridge is less powerful than a ".22 long rifle" round. And for the ".22 long rifle" cartridge, if you fire it in a handgun it will be less powerful due to the shorter barrel not being able to burn all the gunpowder before the bullet exits the barrel. So handguns are generally weaker than rifles in the same caliber using the same ammo.And I would point out that a shotgun with small birdshot loads has a much shorter range than even a .22 rifle or pistol. .22's are dangerous within 1.5 miles or about 2500 meters. A shotgun that fires a shotshell using small birdshot pellets (#9 to #7, let's say) might only be able to throw those pellets a maximum of 200 meters or so.
