What is difference between a 38 caliber bullet and a 9mm bullet?

Not muchThe diameter of a .38 special bullet is 0.358 inch, which is 9.09 mm. ALOT. the diameter isn't the only thing to consider. although the calibers are close the 9mm and 38 special are no where near each other. a 9mm is usually 9 x 19mm and is 115-124 grains and a 38 special is approx. 9.07 x 39mm near 160 grains and obviously packs more of a punch. fire a 9mm and then a 38 special and it will make sense.

What is difference between a 38 caliber bullet and a 45 bullet?

Caliber refers to the diameter of a bullet. A bullet for a .38 Special is actually .357 inches across, and for a .45 auto, about .451 inches. The 45 bullet will be wider, and usually heavier. Please note that this is only the BULLET, which is the projectile. The CARTRIDGE (case, primer, powder, bullet) of the two are different size, shape, design and weight. There also is the .45 Colt bullet (often referred to as a .45 Long Colt). This is about the same diameter as the .45 auto but has a longer cartridge than the .45 auto or 38 Special.
