22 cal military is the current 5.56 mm (aka .223) AR type. Yes water filled barrels can explode but it is rare. It is harder to drain water from a .22 cal then a .30 cal. The water will act an an obstruction and create a barrel blockage
The worst part of people reloading for the .303 is the mistake of a reloader using the wrong bullet. FYI a .303 bullet is actually a .311 diameter and people routinely use .308 bullets which do not properly engage the barrel and keyhole with wild fliers.
In my lifetime I have seen 5 weapon incidents/accidents and none involved a 22 caliber.
I saw a M-60 machine gun blow up and scar the shooter up, I have seen a .44 pistol blow a cylinder in half, a 50 cal machine gun blow a barrel off and split the receiver in half, I have seen the breech blow off a tanks 105 mm main gun and break the gunners legs and I had a sear spring break inside a 45 ACP pistol which emptied all 7 rounds in a split second.
