Hi guys excuse my ignorance as I'm newish to shooting. Is there
a such calibre as .22 centre fire? If so apart from where the
firing pin strikes the round what are the main differences
between 22 rimfire and 22 centre fire?/ advantages or
disadvantages of one over the other?

So a 22 centre fire is also called a 22 hornet is that right?
Can it be semi auto or is that just the 22lr? Sounds really
petty and doesn't belong on a good forum like this but To be
honest I have no interest it obtaining 1. I have a colleague
shall we say who does his fair share of bullshitting. He keeps
talking about this rifle he has that he inherited from his dad.
I asked wat calibre and he says 22. Then I say rimfire? And he
don't even fecking know. I got a 17hmr this year (first step up
from air rifle) and he never even heard of it, he even though I
was on about a 177 air rifle! His is semi auto which makes me
think it is a rimfire. Another mutual friend has a problem with
foxes on his ground and is looking for a few guys to take a trip
down to his place. Then the other pipes up saying his rifle is
too 'dangerous' shall we put it for the job. Sound like bull
plop to anyone else?

Sounds like he doesn't know what he's talking about
He shouldn't have the rifle if he doesn't know what it's capable

The main difference is where the firing pin strikes as you've
mentioned. A .22 centrefire could be a .222, .223, 22-250, .22
Hornet etc. You are not permitted to have semi-auto centrefire
rifles over here or in England, Scotland or Wales if you are a
civilian. It must be a rimfire rifle that he has, and by the
sounds of it he doesn't appreciate what it's capable of.
