Subcaliber 2 pounder/.22

The “plug” I think is the striker piece.
I think I am correct in saying that the chamber in the rear of the sub-caliber round accepts a .22 rimfire cartridge, followed by a separate striker piece. The gun’s firing pin hits the striker piece and that then hits the rim on the .22 cartridge.
The barrel within the sub-caliber round is rifled, so it would be considered a firearm within the UK.
