Do you mean 7.63mm Mauser, or perhaps 7.65mm parabellum? There is no 7.65mm Mauser, but the 7.63 was based on the 7.65mm Borchardt. Either way, it is a bottleneck cartridge, while .32 ACP, also know as 7.65mm Browning, is straight-walled. The two cartridges are in no way interchangeable.

What type of gun shoots 3.5 shotgun shell?
Most 12 gauge shotguns are capable of shooting the 3.5 inch shotgun shell. It fires at around 14,500 PSI.
The reason is that a bullet shot from a gun is traveling so much faster than any person could possibly throw it. Also, the increased velocity of the bullet is more relevant than it may seem because the kinetic energy of any object in motion is 1/2•mv2 where m is the mass of the object and v is its velocity. If the velocity of an object doubles, then its energy increases by a factor of four, not two.
The best pitchers in professional baseball can throw a ball at about 100 MPH. Let's assume that a person can throw a bullet at 100 MPH. A bullet shot from a handgun firing the slowest cartridge commercially available travels at over 400 MPH. This means that the energy of the speeding bullet fired from a handgun is more than 16 times greater than the same bullet thrown at 100 MPH.
To summarize, a bullet thrown at even 100 MPH is not going fast enough, and as a result, does not possess nearly enough energy to penetrate a wooden block.

What is softnosed centerfire ammunition?
Firearms ammo is divided into rimfire, such as .22 Long Rifle ammo, and centerfire, which has a primer in the center of the rear of the cartridge- such as .38 Special, 9mm, .308 Winchester, etc. Soft nosed refers to the composition of the bullet. Rather than having a full jacket of copper/nickel gilding metal (military ammo has that) a soft nosed bullet has the soft lead core exposed at the tip. These are typically used for hunting or self defense.
