No. The .38 Special cartridge can be fired in a .357 Magnum revolver - and only a revolver, which does not require chamber headspacing - but it doesn't work the other way around. The .357 Magnum cartridge is too long to fit into a .38 Special cylinder, and the .357 Sig cartridge is in no way compatible, either with the .357 Magnum or the .38 Special.

How fast does a 38 caliber bullet travel?

Muzzle velocity will vary, depending on whether fired from a rifle, revolver, or semi-automatic pistol- and on the loading of THAT particular cartridge. A .38 Special wadcutter target load fired from a 4 inch bbl revolver will reach about 690 feet per second. A +P+ (high energy load) fired from a 6" revolver may reach 1100 fps.

First, keep the firearm pointed in a safe direction. Wait. Check that the safety is off. If it is on, move to off and fire. Otherwise, if the gun has an external cocking mechanism. recock and attempt to fire. If it still does not fire, wait 30 seconds (still pointing in safe direction) eject cartridge, load fresh cartridge, attempt to fire. Dispose of the bad cartridge in a safe manner.

Is a webley and Scott 38 calibur the same as a 38 super. Will this revolver shoot 38 super ammo?

No! Do not attempt to do this! <><><><> Strongly agree with answer above. Your revolver is possibly caliber ,38 S&W (NOT .38 Special) If you were able to load and fire a .38 Super, it will likely destroy the gun- and will not do you a lot of good. Please have a gunsmith examine it and check caliber before shooting anything in it.


Can a revolver shoot an automatic bullet?

A revolver designed for a revolver cartridge cannot, but some revolvers are designed to fire rimless cartridges. S&W and others made revolvers in .45 ACP, the Ruger Speed Six/Security Six was available in 9mm Parabellum.. they use full or half moon clips to hold the rounds in place and load the cylinder, rather than the traditional method of loading a revolver.

It would depend on how the cartridge was loaded, ( powder type and amount and bullet weight's) A modern black powder load would be to about 100 yards. After that the velocity and energy drops dramatically. Smokeless powder loads would extend a bit farther.
