Can you make a UHF handheld work with a basic 2-way family FRS or GMRS radio

(type you can buy from walmart)? since UHF radios work on 400.000-470.000MHz radio frequencies
AND
since FRS chanels use FCC public band frequencies:

Would a UHF radio proframmed on one of the frs channels...say
channel 14@ 467.7125, recieve and transmit signal which your average 2-way 12 mile cobra from walmart can pick up, and then tranmit to the UHF?

I know the frequencies match, but am I missing something?

The UHF I'm talking about has a 2watt output if that matters.

(Output power: UHF 400-470mhz ,2W output PUXING PX-2R 400.000-470.000MHz radio)


I really hope it can be done, because this way, I can have a reliable way to communicate on the family radio channels when one of my 2-ways from walmart fail me during a hike or something.
