.22 BB Cap (Bulleted Breech Cap), also known as the 6mm Flobert, is a variety of .22 caliber rimfire ammunition. Invented by Louis-Nicolas Flobert in 1845. It was the first rimfire metallic cartridge.
The .22 BB Cap and .22 CB Cap are interchangeable and are relatively quiet, low-velocity cartridges, designed for indoor target shooting.
It has no separate propellant charge, relying on the impulse created by the primer alone to fire a round lead ball. This results in a low muzzle velocity of around 700 ft/s (210 m/s) or less.
More common is the .22 CB cap, which fires a slightly heavier conical bullet and is available in a variety of cartridge lengths.
