The weakest (the least speed times the weight) standard cartridge is the .22 BB cap. Smaller than a .22 Short, it is a round lead ball, no powder, driven by the primer only. It has no connection to a BB gun- in this case, BB means Bulleted Breach. However, there are other very rare cartridges that are smaller and less powerful than the .22 BB cap. The smallest I have seen is a 2 mm rimfire (about .08 caliber) The entire cartridge is about the size of a broken off pencil point.
