A 20mm is considered a cannon shell. While some are solid projectiles, many have an explosive or incendiary core. These also contain a powerful primer to ignite the large charge of powder. Attempting to disassemble large caliber ammunition is very hazardous, and should not be attempted. Ordnance disposal staff use special tools and safety equipment when it is necessary to do this. These shells are capable of causing death or serious permanent injury. DO NOT ATTEMPT THIS.

It depends on the bullet weights. The 9 mm (AKA 9x19 mm, 9 mm Luger, or 9 mm Parabellum) is faster than the .380 ACP (AKA 9 mm Kurz) except when you compare the lightest .380 bullets to the heaviest 9 mm bullets. If you compare the same bullet weights in each, the 9 mm is always faster.
11.5 mm bullet diameter
Millimeters, it is the size of the bullet.
If you mean the 9 mm Parabellum AKA 9x19 mm or 9 mm "Luger", the .38 Special is physically larger. The case length of the .38 is 0.401 inches longer. The over all loaded cartidge length of the .38 is 0.381 inches longer. Case diameter is nearly identical between the two, but the .38 has a larger rim/case head by 0.046 inches. The 9 mm fires a 0.355 inch diameter bullet whereas the .38 fires a 0.357 inch diameter bullet.

Yes. .38 special is a revolver cartridge and .380 is an auto cartridge. Also, the .38 will almost always have a heavier bullet and more muzzle energy than a .380. The .38 bullet is 0.357 inches in diameter while the .380 is 0.355 inches in diameter. Technically, the .380 cartridge is considered part of the 9 mm class of bullets. [9 mm x 19 mm = 9 mm Luger or 9 mm Parabellum, 9 mm x 18 mm = 9 mm Tokarov, and 9 mm x 17 mm = .380 ACP]
20 mm should still be 20 mm!
Yes they is a differnent. When people say "38" they usually mean .38 special, which is a revolver cartridge. .380 ACP is a semi-automatic cartridge. The bullet in a .380 cartridge, even though it's called .380, is actually very slightly smaller in diameter, and lighter than the bullet in a .38 cartridge. The .38 bullet is 0.357 inches in diameter while the .380 is 0.350 inches in diameter. Technically, the .380 cartridge is considered part of the 9 mm class of bullets. [9 mm x 19 mm = 9 mm Luger or 9 mm Parabellum, 9 mm x 18 mm = 9 mm Tokarov, and 9 mm x 17 mm = .380 ACP]
