Well a 22 short has less power. I will occasionally use one in my rifle for varmint control because they are barely louder than a bb gun. hardly more effective too.

Hopefully I'm not coming off as a gun nut. ItÂ’s just a hobby to me much like golf for others. Honest, I don't even own any camo clothing!

But anyhow, there are several different .22 cartridges:

.22 BB, .22 CB, .22 Short, .22 Long, and .22 Long Rifle.

The .22 Long has a 29 grain bullet and is less accurate than either the Short or Long Rifle due to its ratio of grain weight to propellant. It has a projectile velocity of about 1,240 fps.

.22 Long Rifle has a standard size bullet of 40 grain with a velocity of about 1,130 fps to 1260fps with hunting of game up to about 7 pounds.

.22 short usually has a 29 grain bullet and is mostly used for practice by the recreational shooter. For hunting it is best for only for tiny pests like rodents, and small birds.

Hope this answers your question.

Gee you didn't come off like a gun nut at all!

The "Homer gets a gun" episode of the Simpsons was on the other night. It was hysterical watching Homer turn off lights and open beer cans with his gun. His gun nut friends kicked him out of the club.
