Bought some .22 intending to bring it to shoot in my buddy's target .22 but I wasn't paying attention and bought .22short.

Thankfully when I discovered this the other buddy I was with had a revolver I could use it in. Interesting firing something that has no recoil, but I digress...

Other than a .22 rimfire revolver and bolt rifle, what all can feed .22short?
 
Most lever and pump action .22 rifles can shoot it, as well as any .22LR single shot rifle.

Beretta had a pocket pistol chambered in .22 short and there are a number of high-end target autos that shoot it.
 
While there might be a couple of exceptions, the only problems you'll have using .22 shorts will be in semi-autos, where their short length and light recoil might not cycle the actions properly. Essentially all bolt actions and lever actions and revolvers will work without any modifications or special accommodations.
