(a) the primer for larger calibres (centre-fire) is contained in a separate cap in the centre of the base of the cartridge, the firing pin hits that and off you go. The .22 is a bit tiddly for that so the primer compound is sealed withing the external rim of the cartridge, and the firing pin strikes the rim, and bang.
(b) what you get after too much mexican food
