.22 WMR

.22 WMR: nominal size, ignition, the guns in the catalog and the disciplines whose approved rulebook covers the cartridge.

Ignition: Rimfire
Nominal size: 5.6 mm
Models in the catalog: 18
Categories: Rimfire · Revolvers · Combination guns · History & service arms

The nominal size is the caliber designation as a number — the figure the approved rulebooks use for their caliber ranges. It is not a measurement of bullet diameter; this index does not list that.

Ignition type after the C.I.P. tables of dimensions (TDCC, Tab. V — rimfire cartridges) or ANSI/SAAMI Z299.1.

A discipline for your gun type in an approved set of sport regulations does not yet mean you have a recognized need. An association your club belongs to must certify, under its sport regulations, that the gun is approved for a discipline and required for it; on top of that come twelve months of sport shooting in a club, the shooting activity record, acquisition spacing, the quota and the minimum age. The association certifies, the authority decides. The wording of the regulations governs.

Nor does a discipline mean the gun is permitted for sport shooting: § 6 AWaffV excludes handguns with a barrel shorter than 7.62 cm, certain semi-automatic firearms that look like a fully automatic weapon of war, and semi-automatic long guns with a magazine holding more than ten rounds. Only the Federal Office of Administration can grant exceptions, on application by a recognized association; the fact that a set of sport regulations provides for a discipline is not such an exception.
