How does a rimfire bullet work?
Rimfire ammunition differs from centerfire ammunition in that the firing pin does not contact a primer placed in the center of the cartridge. A rimfire cartridge has a flat, closed back with no opening for a primer. With a rimfire cartridge the rim of the shell is hollow and filled with the primer material. When the hammer engages the back of the cartridge it impacts the the rim, crushes it and ignites the gunpowder inside. This action causes the expulsion of the projectile. Because of the nature of the hollow rim, this type of ammunition has typically very low pressure rounds, which result in lower velocity and penetration.
