The "BB Cap" or first commercially available self contained cartridges were introduced in 1847 (if you can believe the internet) for parlor games! It evolved into the CB or "conical bullet" cap then the more modern rimfire .22 short ammo as we know it. Actually there was a brief time rimfire ruled the roost for all calibers as centrally fired ammo was developed. A friend of mine has some .45-70 Govt. that looks smooth bottom like a rimfire but is some early centerfire.
I thought the .410 shotshell 2" was connected to the "bicycle guns" that Marble's dominated for warding off feral dogs while cycling out in the country.

9.3x74R is a match for 3” .410 when blown out.
