no the 38 bullet is fatter and and the special is smaller
It depends on several factors, but a good rule of thumb is "about a mile."
A bullet that has left the barrel has marks left from its travel down the barrel.
If by 38 you mean the 38 special , the answer is yes , as both use a .357 dia bullet
I have seen people shoot accurately at 100 yards or more with a .38 pistol. However, in general, a pistol bullet can travel, on average, about a mile.
It depends on what you mean by "break."
.38 Special is a rimmed cartridge, designed for revolvers, while .38 Super is designed for semi auto pistols, and uses a recessed canneleure, rather than a rim. Additionally, the .38 Super has a bullet diameter of .355 inches, vs. the .38 Special's bullet diameter of .357 inches.

The .357 has a longer case and a heavier bullet; it is identical to a .38 in diameter but far more powerful. This is why a .38 will fire in a .357 but not the other way around.
.38 Special, yes. Other .38 cartridges (such as the .38 Long Colt or .38 Super), no.
I'm not absolutely sure, but I'm confident a metal jacketed 38 special bullet will go through a human head at 300 ft.
Not muchThe diameter of a .38 special bullet is 0.358 inch, which is 9.09 mm. ALOT. the diameter isn't the only thing to consider. although the calibers are close the 9mm and 38 special are no where near each other. a 9mm is usually 9 x 19mm and is 115-124 grains and a 38 special is approx. 9.07 x 39mm near 160 grains and obviously packs more of a punch. fire a 9mm and then a 38 special and it will make sense.
