If you could get the round into the gun and fire it you would most likely end up wondering why you would ever have tried to do something so stupid in the first place-while waiting in your local emergency room.
A starter pistol is designed to fire blanks, not handle the pressure of a regular round. Trying anything other than the blanks designed for it is just stuipidity

You would have to do a fair amount of modifications just to get a bulleted 22 to fit the starter gun. Even if you could make these modfications, the gun would be dangerous to fire.
A real 22 pistol can be had quite cheaply. Watch gun shows or your local gun store, I have seen some that are ok as cheap as $50. Real nice ones cost more, but even a junker will be safer and more accurate than a hob-cobbled starter pistol.

There are quite a few to choose from out there. Ruger makes the Mark III which is a great semi-auto....but there are others too. Walther P-22, Beretta Neos, Sig Mosquito, S&W 22A, and the Browning Buckmark. While all of these are good, probably the most reliable will be the Rugers. In a double action revolver, the better ones will be the Smith & Wesson, but they are pretty pricey. The Ruger Super Single Six is a great and fun Single Action revolver, with the ability to change the cylinders to .22 magnum.

For starters, it wouldn't fit. It'd be to long to allow the cylinder to close. If somehow you managed to anyway, when you fired the gun, the bullet would strike the obstructed barrel mandatory on all starter pistols, and would fragment, probably severing some of your fingers. the frame would then break in one or more places, and go flying in all directions. It's not steel, it's zinc, and it'll shatter.
These fragments could hit your eye or eyes blinding you, or even penetrating the thin bone of the back of the eyesocket and enter the brain causing death.
I wouldn't recomend it.

Most Starter Pistols have a built in Barrel block making firing a conventional .22 caliber bullet impossible, not to mention incredibly foolish and dangerous to try. These pistols were not designed to fire conventional ammunition on purpose. Their design makes them unable to handle the pressures a regular 22LR would create in the first place. It would probably blow up in your hand if you were to try, or get you arrested for your attempts.....

Rule of thumb, always use the proper ammo in whatever revolver/pistol you are firing. Starter pistol/revolvers are made to fire blanks only. Forcing real ammo into them will damage them and should you be able to fire them you risk serious injury to yourself.
Best.

If it would chamber it, the starter pistol will be blown up, and you will at the very least get hurt, and at worse, killed for doing such an idiotic thing.

a .22lr round would not fit. even a .22 cb short probably would be too long to fit in the cylinder.
if it did fit and you fired it it would explode and send sharp metal shrapnel into your hands/arms/face. causing serious injury.
DONT DO IT!
