In Europe, the .22 BB Cap (introduced in 1845) and the slightly more powerful .22 CB Cap (introduced in 1888) are both called 6mm Flobert and are considered the same cartridge. These cartridges have a relatively low muzzle velocity of around 600 ft/s (183 m/s) to 800 ft/s (244 m/s).
In English-speaking countries, the 6mm Flobert cartridge corresponds to .22 BB Cap and .22 CB Cap ammunition. These cartridges have a relatively low muzzle velocity of around 700 ft/s (210 m/s). These cartridges have a relatively low muzzle velocity of around 700 ft/s (210 m/s).

Using the same 40 gr (2.6 g) outside-lubricated bullet later adapted for the much more common .22 long rifle, [2] the extra long was loaded with 6 gr (389 mg) of black powder. [2] Originally, it slightly outperformed the .22 LR, but was "not noted for great accuracy", [2] while later smokeless loads achieved about the same muzzle velocity as ...
