Can you use 9mm shells for 9mmx19?

Not sure of the question. Are you talking about for reloading purposes? I wouldn't recommend stretching out shorter 9mm casings (such as 9x17/.380 ACP). You can use 9x19 casings.. the 9x19 is also known as the 9mm Luger or 9mm Parabellum. If you're talking firing another type of cartridge in a 9x19/9mm Luger/9mm Parabellum pistol, the answer is a big, resounding, no. Cartridges such as the 9x17 (a.k.a., 9mm Kurz, 9mm Short, .380 ACP) will not provide the proper headspacing, which could result in a catastrophic failure of your firearm - with the potential of injury or death to the firer - when fired. The 9x18 Makarov cartridge, likewise, is in no way compatible with a 9x19/9mm Luger/9mm Parabellum pistol.


What caliber of gun kills the most people each year?

First, guns do not kill people - they are inanimate objects. Probably the most common firearm, and due to commonality, likely to be used in more shootings, is the .22 rimfire. Overall, based on sheer numbers produced and the intended audience, the AK family of automatic assault rifles likely kills the most people world-wide. The AK family is generally chambered for one of two calibers: the 7.62x39 or 5.45x39, with the 7.62x39 being far more common (about 10:1 in numbers). If one is talking only about murders and other deaths in a civilian setting (not wartime or other settings), then the most common would likely be one of: 7.62x39 (AK family), 9mmx19 Parabellum (most handguns), or the .40 S&W (majority of police handguns). Note that, world-wide, suicides and gun accidents make up the majority of gun-related deaths in a civilian setting, with murders and police shootings coming in well below either of them.
