What happens when a 9x19 parabellum is fired in a 7.63x25 C96 mauser pistol

I thought that a gun would be badly damaged from firing a 9mm bullet through a 30 caliber barrel. . In this case no. The bullet was inaccurate, but after wards firing the correct ammo, accuracy was there. Even the report from the mismatch firing was not so different in noise or recoil.

He may be very luck but I wouldn't think his result of "what happens" can be thought of as the only result. Hell of a way to extrude a projectile! Lol

Certainly not a recommended practice and I am taking him at his word that he actually did do what he says. It is not what I expected. At the moment I am just wondering about it and I have not accepted it yet, but I also can not deny it either. While I have pistols in 7.62x25, I will not be firing a 9x19 in those guns anytime soon.

Here is a question if you absolutely had to be defend yourself and only had 9.x19 ammo and a 7.63 mauser C96, what would you do?

Throw the Mauser at them and run like hell. After seeing that guys hand blown up after a gun failure I'm more conscious of any potential for an ammo failure than I used to be.

Always wanted one of these. He was lucky.

When you factor in that none of his 9mm projectiles hit the target, taking that risk is a poor choice. A contact shot might work but it might take you out of the fight too.

What happens when a .40s&w is fired in a .45acp .. yes it ejected too.

I once fired by mistake some .380 reloads in an Astra 600 9x19 pistol. Cases bulged, but fed and ejected perfectly.
