Over the years, .22 rimfire ammunition has been made in three lengths. These were called "short", "long" and "long rifle". Whether a type of .22 rimfire can be shot in a particular firearm depends on the chamber size of the firearm. As the "short" and "long" versions have a shorter case length than the "long rifle", they will chamber fine and can be fired in a "long rifle" chambered firearm.
So, a "long rifle" firearm can shoot "short", "long" and "long rifle". But a firearm chambered in short can only fire "short".

Are 22 cal short bullets for a 22 cal revolver?
22 shorts can be used in any 22 cal. weapon. however, some 22 rifles require long or long rifle 22 bullets. AA: Normally you use 22 shorts in a 22 cal revolver. 22 shorts use pistol powder. It burns much faster than rifle powder. Thus, a 22 short bullet is going as fast as it is going to go after it has travelled about 4 inches. A 22 long or long rifle uses rifle powder. The powder burns slower. It has finished burning when the bullet is about 20 inches down the barrel. A 22 long rifle bullet has very little force when shot from a pistol. The powder is still burning long after the bullet slowly left the barrel. So use pistol ammunition for a pistol and rifle ammunition for a rifle.
