What is difference between a 9mm caliber bullet and a 380 bullet?

None, the projectile diameter is the same for both - .355. If you are asking about a complete round of ammunition, the 9mm case is 19mm long and the 380 case is 17 mm long. This cartridge is called the ".380 Auto" for use with an automatic pistol. However, the most common 9mm round is the "9mm Lugar". This cartridge has a heavier bullet and a longer case, thus a larger muzzle velocity and energy than the .380 Auto.

What is a 45 caliber?

A ".45 caliber" can be a gun that uses .45 caliber ammunition or it can be a round of that ammunition. There are several specific calibers of small arms ammunition that are all generally called ".45 caliber." They have bullets that are roughly .454 of an inch or 454/1000 fractionally. A famous .45 caliber is the .45 Long Colt, invented in the 1870s and still popular today. It is used in revolvers. Another caliber that is the same diameter but a lot shorter in length is the .45 ACP or .45 automatic Colt pistol. It was made for use in the U.S. military's Model 1911 handgun, and it is still a popular caliber today in that gun and in other handguns. There are some rifles and carbines that use .45 caliber ammo, too.

Can you shoot a 380 caliber bullet in another gun?

Let's start by using the right term- I think you mean a .380 cartridge- many guns use .380 caliber BULLETS.In general, NO. Unlike .22 shorts and long rifles, rimless cases do not interchange. It may be possible to get a .380 cartridge to fire in another gun- but not safely. Use ammo that is the caliber marked on the gun.


What is the exact type of ammo for a particular firearm?

Question is too broad to answer. In general, use ammunition that is the same as the caliber or gauge marked on the firearm. If it is marked .38 Special, use only .38 Special- NOT .38 S&W, NOT .380. NOT .38 Super.
