A 44 magnum is more powerful than a 45calibur
Magnum simply means a more powerful cartridge. Some shotguns fire magnum cartridges. You need to define the "Magnum" you are trying to compare with a shotgun.
The main difference between a .38 Special and a .357 Magnum revolver is the size and power of the ammunition they use. The .357 Magnum is more powerful and has a longer cartridge than the .38 Special, resulting in higher velocity and stopping power. This makes the .357 Magnum better suited for hunting or self-defense, while the .38 Special is more commonly used for target shooting or personal protection.
Yes, you can shoot .38 Special ammunition out of a .357 Magnum revolver. The .357 Magnum revolver is designed to also shoot .38 Special ammunition, as the .38 Special cartridge is shorter than the .357 Magnum cartridge.
It's the round which makes the difference, not the pistol. A .45 automatic pistol is going to be more powerful than a .38 revolver, for example. There are revolvers chambered in cartridges such as the .454 Casull and .500 S&W Magnum, which aren't available in any automatic pistols, but it's still ultimately the round which matters, and not whether it's an automatic or revolver.
The number 357 in a 38 revolver refers to the caliber of the ammunition it can use. The significance lies in the fact that the revolver can also fire .357 Magnum rounds, which are more powerful than standard .38 Special rounds. This versatility allows the revolver to be used for different purposes, such as self-defense or target shooting, depending on the ammunition chosen.
The Desert Eagle was made in several calibers- one of which WAS the .44 magnum.
Just as a magnum wine bottle is larger than a standard bottle, the firearms industry used the term magnum to refer to a cartridge that is more powerful than the standard cartridge.
A magnum gun is a gun that will shoot a magnum cartridge, and that cartridge will have magnum in its' name. It is just a moniker that infers more powerful cartridge, but the name itself has little or no significance...other than as a marketing tool. One that will propel a projectile at significantly more velocity than a regular one.
Two unrelated terms. A magnum is a cartridge more powerful than the original cartridge. Carbine is a short barreled rifle. Some carbines are chambered for magnum cartridges.
I'd imagine that at closer ranges (like 50 yards or closer) the .44 Magnum is much more powerful. But it is a handgun round, which loses power fairly quickly. The M-16 shoots a small diameter bullet (.223) but is accurate and more powerful at a longer distance.
A .38 Special round is compatible with a .357 revolver because the .357 revolver is designed to shoot both .357 Magnum and .38 Special ammunition. The .38 Special round is slightly shorter than the .357 Magnum round, but it can be safely fired in a .357 revolver without any issues.
