380 and 9mm projectiles are .355 in diameter
_________________________
Most of the time, when people use the term 9mm, they are referring to a 9mm parabellum. A 9mm parabellum cannot be fired from a .380. The 9mm cartridge is longer.

The BULLET is the part of the cartridge that is the projectile. While 9mm parabellum and .380 ACP use the same diameter bullets, the CARTRIDGES are not interchangeable.

9mm and 380 both use bullets with a diameter of .355. However, the cases are a different size. .380 is also known as .380 auto, 9mm Kurtz, 9mm Corto, 9mm short or 9x17. 9mm typically refers to 9x19mm also known as 9mm Parabellum or 9mm Luger. You cannot fire a 9mm Parabellum cartridge from a .380 handgun. The 9mm cartridge will not fit into the chamber of the gun. However, if you were to pull the bullet out of the .380 case and put it into a 9mm Para case the resulting cartridge will work just fine.
Is there a gun that can use 380 bullets and 9 bullets?
No firearm exists that can shoot both 380 and 9mm. Unlike, say, the 357 magnum which can shoot 38 specials. Revolver rounds use the case rim to assure proper head space so they are more interchangeable. The 9mm and 380 are made for auto-loaders and they use the case length, rather than a rim, to determine proper head space. Because of that you can't shoot a 380 through a 9mm.

9mm and .380 bullets are the same diameter. In fact, .380 is also called 9mm Kurz(short) or 9x17. However, the caliber commonly called 9mm is 9x19, which means the cases are different size. A .380 cartridge will fall down into the chamber and the firing pin will not reach the primer. So, a .380 bullet can be fired from a 9mm gun if it were loaded into a 9mm case. A .380 cartridge would fail to fire in a 9mm gun.
