You can from some, but they have to be designed to shoot both.
No, you can not shoot a 32 bullet out of a 38 gun. You should always make sure that you have the proper ammunition before you shoot your gun so that you are safe while shooting.
caliber 38 is a caliber 38. bullet dia. is .357 caliber deals with the dia. or measurement around the bullet head, not the bullet case.
The short answer is no. You should not (and normally can't) fire any ammo in a gun other than what it is specifically designed to shoot. There are some exceptions, such as, you can fire 38 special in a gun designed for .357 magnum.
NEVER FIRE AMMUNITION IN A WEAPON IT IS NOT CHAMBERED FOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No, No, NO
yes, but not too often in a light weight 38 revolver.
Close. a .38 caliber is usually closer to .357 caliber.
No. The bullet is too big. A 30-30 is a .30 caliber bullet. a .38 bullet is .357 caliber
Absolutely not. IMPROVING ANSWER: It won't even fit, although you can't tell the right ammo to use in a gun by trying it to see if it fits. A .32 caliber gun fires a bullet that is about 32/100 of an inch wide. A .38 special handgun uses bullets that are about 36/100 inch. So the bigger bullets will not fit through the smaller holes in the chamber and barrel on the smaller-caliber gun.
They measure the width of the gun barrel in fractions of an inch. A 38 caliber will be .38 of an inch. The bullet projectile itself is a little less wide.
38 or 357
NO, a 38 Special is actually .357 caliber. NO, a 38 Special is actually .357 caliber. A 38 special is NOT a 357 magnum. Both bullet heads are about .357 in diameter. The difference between the 38 and 357 is the length of the brass case. The 357 brass case is a bit longer then the 38 special case, and the gun powder load is a bit higher then the 38 special load...... Further, you can shoot a 38 special case in the 357 magnum revolver, however, you cannot fire a 357 magnum round in the 38 special. The 38 special cylinder is too short for the 357 round......
.38 Special, yes. Other .38 cartridges (such as the .38 Long Colt or .38 Super), no.
