While the .380 is sometimes called the 9mm Kurz, it is not the same as the 9mm parabellum (also called 9mm Luger and 9x19). It is shorter than the 9mm.

Is there a difference between a 38 special caliber bullet and a .380 caliber 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]


What bullet is fastest 380 or9mm bullet?

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.

Is there a difference between a 38 caliber bullet and a 380 caliber bullet?

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]
