In the (semi) canonical "Aliens" novels, it was explained that the 10mm pulse rifle cartridges are longer, lighter, and higher-velocity than the 10mm pistol rounds fired by the Colonial Marines' sidearms, even though the projectile widths are the same. One of the books - I can't remember which - specifically said that the 10mm pulse rifle and pistol ammo were not interchangeable.

Well the fact that most people don't actually say 9x19mm. They say 9mm, or a 10mm cause it's easy and it's automatically a handgun round because of the context. It's the same with rifle caliber where we say 5.56mm. I mean if you are going with numbers just comparing the first number of course the number 5 is smaller than 10. A lot of time, people forget about the second number that comes after the X.
In Aliens, they don't call it just a machine gun or even a smg. They called it a "rifle" so we could assume it's rifle caliber and 10mm is big, but since it's caseless, it shouldn't be a problem. Not to mention the 20mm pump action grenade launcher with grenades that can deliver a hell of a bang

I was actually referring to rifles that fired pistol cartridges. Lever actions and carbines. It's not like it's never happened before.

Cartridges really shouldn't even be referred to as "n.nn mm x nn mm". Most have some sort of designation. The 7.62x39mm should actually be referred to as the "7.62mm M43".
