What is the difference in a .38 special pistol and a .380 pistol?
The .38 Special will be a revolver, which fires a rimmed cartridge. The .380 is an automatic pistol cartridge intended for compact semi-auto pistols, and is rimless. It is also a substantially shorter cartridge than the .38 Special.They are two completely different cartridges, that have no resemblance other than having a 3 and 8 in the names. .38 Special is a rimmed cartridge made for revolvers. .380 is a rimless cartridge made for use in automatic pistols. It is shorter, slightly smaller in diameter, and has a lighter weight bullet. The two do not interchange.

Can you put a .22 bullets in .25 handgun Is it possible or only not preferable?
It is possible, however "not preferable" is drastically understating the seriousness of it. If you put the wrong caliber cartridge in a handgun, you can possibly damage the gun and/or hurt yourself, so it isn't "not preferable." INSTEAD, it is a really, really bad idea that you should never try.
Who makes a 9 mm revolver?
Assuming you're referring to the 9mm Parabellum/Luger cartridge (a.k.a., 9x19mm), the only one I'm able to think of offhand is Ruger, who used to make a variant of the Speed Six revolver which used the 9x19 cartridge, employing half moon clips to keep the cartridges in the cylinder (the 9x19 isn't a rimmed cartridge, so the conventional method used for rimmed cartridges wouldn't have been effective).
What does 7.62x54 mean in a rifle cartridge?
7.62 is the diameter of the projectile (although it's actually 7.92mm in the case of the 7.62x54R), by 54 millimetres length. It's usually described as 7.62x54R, with the R indicating it's a rimmed cartridge.
Are there 9mm ammo made for none automatics?
If you're referring to something like a rimmed version of the 9mm Parabellum cartridge, no. If you're talking about cartridges similar in diameter, yes - any .38 cartridge will have a close cartridge diameter to the 9mm round. The 9x19 Parabellum round doesn't have to be used exclusively in automatic/semi-automatic firearms, either - several revolvers were made which use non-rimmed cartridges, by means of a half moon or full moon clip system, rather than the traditional revolver cylinder, with extracts by pushing on the cartridge rim. Variants of the Ruger Security Six were available with this system in the 9x19 Parabellum cartridge.

rimmed steel?
Is the 762x54r round -Dragunov Sniper Rifle Round- the same as the 308 Winchester round?
No. The 7.62x54R round is a rimmed cartridge, first developed in 1891 for use with the Mosin Nagant rifle. The .308 Winchester is derived from the .300 Savage, and has dimensions similar to - but not identical to - the 7.62x51 NATO cartridge, which is also derived from the .300 Savage.Additionally, the 7.62x54R actually has a bullet diameter of 7.92mm, vs. the 7.8mm (.308 inches) of the .308 Winchester and 7.62x51.Another stark difference between the two is that the .308 is not a rimmed cartridge, instead using a cannlure.
Does 38 caliber equal 9mm?
Close, but no. A .38 Special fires a .357 inch diameter bullet, 9mm Parabellum fires a slightly smaller bullet, but with more force. The .38 is a rimmed revolver cartridge, and the 9mm is a rimless automatic pistol cartridge.
