I believe that these were real

22 caliber rifle that fired live

rounds but in modern times the

weapons only fire a light beam

for the obvious reasons

That is correct! Most galleries, today use #2 lead shot. As Chic said, some use a light beam.

Sorry Jim 1 last note

I don't believe that any joints

still use live amunition

Maybe BBs or pellets with air

or CO2 charge (or corks)

There was at least 1 shooting gallery still using live .22 rifles in in the US in 2009:

#2 lead shot is used in the "Shoot Out The Star" guns that are air powered and still being made http://www.shootingstargames.com/

It's amazing that even 22 shorts

are still allowed in joints

Lead shot powered by air or CO2

is still not "live amunition"

There is no primer to ignite

the powder that propels the shot

22 cal are rim fire and almost

all others are center primered

(but I'm sure you knew that)
