edit

Sorry I typed faster than I thought, it is in the .338 Norma Magnum, which is a shortened and "improved" version of the same case as the Lapua. Somewhat more efficient, possibly more intrinsically accurate.

Cool. Finally a 2.5d6 KA machine gun to fill the gap between 7.62 Nato and .50BMG!

the .338 Norma is a superbly efficient cartridge. It is shorter than the .338 Lapua to allow for longer bullets in a given length action. It is also superbly accurate.

 

I have talked to at least one Marine Sniper who feels the .50 sniper rifles are too big for most uses. .338 norma works well in a 14 lb gun, instead of a 30+ pound one.

In the video game "Metal Gear Solid 3", the character Revolver Ocelot first carries a Makarov PM. It jams on him during an encounter, but he manages to keep the unfired bullet as a souvenir of the event.

 

Later on, he carries Colt Single Action Army revolvers. He has also now installed the earlier 9x18mm round on a sort of base/adapter that allows him to place it in an SAA, and, presumably, fire it. Does something like this exist in reality?

You'd need a chamber adapter, basically a self-contained chamber and very short barrel that would fit inside the .45 Colt chamber. It wouldn't look like the picture--it would look like a .45 Colt cartridge machined out of steel with a 9x18 chamber and barrel running through it.

 

Similar items DO exist--you can get inserts like this that allow you to fire .22 ammo in a gun chambered for .45 Colt.
