There are also some rifle calibers that can fire other calibers. Following the methodology from the article
35 Whelan shoots 338-06 shoots 30-06 shoots 270 Winchester shoots 25-06 What they have in common is rim size and headspace, they all shoot different size bullets so the smaller bullet will "rattle" down the barrel giving lousy accuracy. You could probably hit a barn, from the inside with the doors closed. With luck you would have reloadable brass after firing the undersized bullets.

I have heard that it is unsafe to fire 9mm ammo that is intended for SMG out of a 9mm pistol. Exactly the same case, primer and bullet, but loaded hotter (ie - to a higher pressure).
First of all, is this so? Second, is it therefore unsafe to fire 9mm pistol ammo out of a 9mm SMG? Or will it simply lack the power to cycle the action. Third, what would be involved in modifying an SMG to fire the less powerful pistol ammo, and would it thereafter be unsafe to fire the full power 9mm SMG ammo?

With most pistols it is easy to change barrels and calibers. Here are a couple of online dealers for conversion barrels
