Some are heavy, some are light. It is a fairly mild cartridge, and does not require a very heavy rifle. Weight will depend on the specific make and model.
ALL other things being equal (caliber, type of action, etc) a lighter rifle will have more recoil (kick) than a heavier one. It is a matter of action and reaction. I have a heavy (11 lbs) benchrest target rifle in .308- it is a pleasure to shoot. I have another .308- a lightweight hunting rifle (6lbs). With the same cartridge, it will put tears in your eyes!
There is no way to give you a brief answer. ONE of my reference books on cartridges is about 2 inches thick, and THAT does not have all of them. Rifle cartridges have been as small as .17 caliber, and as large as .200 caliber. There are thousands of different rifle cartridges.
No one answer, since there was no one Sharps Rifle. Some were single shot and used metalic cartridges, some used paper or cloth cartridges.
the 22 long rifle holds 11 cartridges
Stored in cool, dry areas, modern cartridges seem to have a shelf life of about 70 years.
The magazine holds 15 Long Rifle CARTRIDGES.
Ddepends entirely on which rifle- there are thousands of different cartridges, and different bullet types. Sorry-
They are different lengths (and energies) of .22 rimfire cartridges. They are the most commonly sold cartridge in the world.

No. Two different cartridges, they do not interchange.
