What is the difference between rim fire center fire?
The difference is explained in the name. A rim fire rifle uses ammunition where the hammer strikes the rim of the bullet. In a center fire rifle, the hammer hits the the center of the bullet. Rim fire ammunition is usually small, like a .22, and center fire ammo is generally larger.
What is a 'centre fire' rifle And why is it called that?
Any rifle that the firing pin strikes the bullet casing right in the center of the casing, causing it to discharge is called a "Center Fire Rifle." In contrast a "Rim Fire Rifle" the firing pin strikes the edge or rim of the bullet casing causing it to discharge.
Can you shoot a 9mm bullet from a 38 revolver handgun?
Not reliably. The 9mm bullet is a bit smaller in diameter than a .38, and the cartridge has no rim- it will push into the cylinder. Brass is also likely to split if it DOES fire.
How does a 22 bullet work?
Firing pin strikes rim, priming compound in rim ignites the powder in the case behind the projectile. Powder burns and turns into a gas which expands and propels the projectile down the bore.
Is 243 winchster rim fire?

How big is a mp5 bullet?
The Heckler & Koch MP5 submachine gun fires a 9x19mm cartridge, which has an overall length of 19.69 millimeters, and a rim diameter of 9.96 millimeters. The bullet itself has a diameter of 9.01 millimeters, with length depending on the type of bullet (ie jacketed, unjacketed, hollow-point).
What is the difference between an air rifles and a rim fire rifles?
Rim Fire bullets (Rifles or guns) require a firing pin that strikes the bullet casing and the resulting explosion of gunpowder in the shell fires the bullet out of the barrel. Air guns have NO firing pin. An air valve or piston forces air or C02 into the barrel behind the pellet or BB and this shoots the projectile out of the barrel.
How are bullet casings and bullets used to compare and identify guns used in crimes?
The barrel of a gun has lans and grooves that cause the bullet to spin. These grooves leave distinct markings on the bullet that are like a fingerprint. No two guns leave the same markings on a bullet. The bullet casings are marked by both the firing pin hitting the primer or case rim, and the extractor that grabs the case and ejects it from the weapon. These are also distinct, gun specific, markings.
What will happen if you unscrew the top of a 22 bullet?
The top of the CARTRIDGE is the bullet- and they are not threaded, so they don't unscrew. The cartridge case is crimped onto the lead bullet. Playing with ammo- especially rimfire ammo like the .22, is dangerous. If the rim (which contains the primer) is crushed, the cartridge can explode. Strong likelihood that is going to hurt you.
Can you remove the bullet from a 32 caliber rim fire cartridge and then remove the gun powder then add fresh gun powder and reinstall the bullet?
It can be done, but what you're describing is a rather dangerous process. You'd be better off just to buy new ammo for it.
