It depends on what you mean by "break."
no the 38 bullet is fatter and and the special is smaller
If by 38 you mean the 38 special , the answer is yes , as both use a .357 dia bullet
No, it is not recommended to use a .357 bullet in a .38 Special revolver as the .357 bullet is longer and may not fit properly, potentially causing safety issues or damage to the firearm.
.38 Special is a rimmed cartridge, designed for revolvers, while .38 Super is designed for semi auto pistols, and uses a recessed canneleure, rather than a rim. Additionally, the .38 Super has a bullet diameter of .355 inches, vs. the .38 Special's bullet diameter of .357 inches.

Yes, you can shoot a .38 Special bullet from a .38 revolver, as the revolver is specifically designed to handle that caliber. The .38 Special is a common cartridge used in revolvers, and most .38 revolvers are chambered for this round. However, ensure that the revolver is in good condition and rated for the specific loads being used to ensure safety.
.38 Special, yes. Other .38 cartridges (such as the .38 Long Colt or .38 Super), no.
I'm not absolutely sure, but I'm confident a metal jacketed 38 special bullet will go through a human head at 300 ft.
Not muchThe diameter of a .38 special bullet is 0.358 inch, which is 9.09 mm. ALOT. the diameter isn't the only thing to consider. although the calibers are close the 9mm and 38 special are no where near each other. a 9mm is usually 9 x 19mm and is 115-124 grains and a 38 special is approx. 9.07 x 39mm near 160 grains and obviously packs more of a punch. fire a 9mm and then a 38 special and it will make sense.
38 is the size. This answer is actually correct, but more specifically, .38 special (and many of the other .38 caliber cartridges) are actually .357. The caliber ".38" was chosen to distinguish between .357 magnum and .38 special.
The actual bullet diameter (as well as that of the .38 Special) is .357.
Well, yes and no. Both the .357 Magnum and the earlier .38 Special catridge both use a bullet that is .357 inches in diameter. The .38 Special in not a TRUE .38 caliber cartridge.
