Is 98 mm greater than or less than 9cm 9mm?
it is less than because 1cm. = 10mm. so 9cm. is 90mm. and then you add the 9mm. to that 90mm.
What ammo is cheaper 9mm or 45?
9mm target ammunition is commonly less expensive than .45 ACP.
Which gun is louder a 9mm or a 380?
It depends on a couple of factors, but in general, a 9mm is louder because it's a higher pressure cartridge than the .380.
What is the Muzzle velocity of a 9mm vs 380ACP?
9mm (usually called 9mm Luger or 9mm Parabellum) almost always has a higher muzzle velocity than the 380 ACP (also called the 9mm short, 9mm Kurtz, and 9mm Corto). The two bullets are essentially the same diameter however the 9mm Parabellum is almost always a heavier bullet than the 380 ACP with a larger powder charge and a significantly higher chamber pressure.
Is a .380 ammo round more powerful than a 45?
No, the .380 has less power than the 9mm or the .45 .
What can you compare 9mm to?
.38 Special- 9mm is more powerful. ,357 Magnum- 9mm is less powerful.
Why is a 45 gap comparable to a 45 acp and a 380 acp is not comparable to a 9mm?
The 45 GAP operates at slightly higher pressure than standard (non +p) 45 ACP ammunition and by this means is able to generate similar velocity and energy to the 45 ACP cartridge. The 380 Auto cartridge is not only smaller than 9mm Luger, it is also far lower pressure. The 380 Auto delivers far less velocity and energy and cannot handle as much bullet mass as the 9mm.
Is a 9mm longer than a 380?
The .380 IS a 9mm- a 9mm Short (also called 9mm Kurz or Corto). There are more than a dozen different 9mm cartridges. Most people mean the 9mm Parabellum (also called 9mm Luger) when they say 9mm. The 9mm Parabellum IS a longer cartridge than the .380 .
Which has more kick 9mm .40 .45 ACP?
Generally speaking, the 9mm will have the least recoil of those 3. When comparing 40 to 45, the 40 has a sharper recoil because it is a higher pressure cartridge than the 45, and most people interpret that as heavier recoil. However, all of that is conditional on the size and weight of the gun. When shooting a heavier gun, you will generally feel less recoil than when shooting a comparable gun that is lighter. So a big heavy 45 will have less recoil than a small light 45.
What are the characteristics of the 357 sig?
Very generally speaking, it is a 9mm diameter bullet fired with the pressure of a .40 SW, so what you get is a very high velocity 9mm bullet which has much more muzzle energy than a regular 9mm. They are very loud because of the higher pressure (more powder) but very accurate, and based on the (somewhat limited) information available about it, is very effective.
Can you use 9mm ammo in any 9mm handgun?
No. There are more than a dozen DIFFERENT "9mm" cartridges, and they do not interchange. The most common is 9mm Parabellum- also known as 9mm Luger or 9x19. It does NOT interchange with 9mm Kurz, 9mm Corto, 9mm Makarov, 9mm Ultra, etc.
How much recoil does a 9mm have?
Depends to some degree on how the cartridge is loaded, and the weight of the gun firing it- heavy guns recoil less. Recoil is similar to a .38 Special- more than a .22, less than a .45. My granddaughter is in her mid teens and shoots my Browning Hi Power 9mm, so recoil is not that bad.
