Answer 1

You sound too young to have a gun.

Answer 2

How on earth did you get a gun.  We'll be reading about you in the paper in a few days.

Answer 3

Caliber is .38. The bullet part of the cartridge is .38, 9mm, same size hole. Now it depends on the cartridge size that holds the powder. #57 holds more powder, therefore a bigger bang. .38 Special is the next size down. In a 357 you can fire .38 special rounds, but not visa versa.

38 caliber is an older gun, and is known a 38 S&W, and has a smaller powder than the .38 special charge. 9MM is an automatic cartridge and has a similar power as .38 special.

Answer 4

Special. You know, like those classes you were in. I really think it would be a mistake for you to play with guns you know nothing about. Even that junk Taurus.  

Answer 5

You can use both .357 Magnum OR .38 Special, they'll both work in a .357 Magnum revolver. .38 Special costs less because it's a LOT less powerful. Yes, they have revolvers that are just .38 Special (You can't use .357 Magnum in these). Just get the .357 Magnum revolver, it's more versatile. And s***w these idiots that are "afraid" of you. Have fun!

Answer 6

I'm sure if you call 911 they will take special care in explaining it to you.

Answer 7

You seem to be very new to firearms and not very knowledgeable. My advice would be to find a local firing range ask about taking some classes through them or a qualified third party. They will help explain the firearm too you, answer your questions, and show you how to shoot. There is a wealth of information available at ranges if you just take advantage of it.

WILLIE- A firearm is NOT a toy and anyone operating one should know how to do so safely. We are "afraid" because we see the potential for a tragic accident in the OP's lack of knowledge about firearms. Loading a firearm with the wrong type of ammunition can, and has, resulted in the EXPLOSIVE DESTRUCTION of the firearm and serious or FATAL injuries to the shooter and/or bystanders.
