That will depend on how heavy the bullet is, what powder load is used, and the length of barrel it is fired from. It may range from 1000 feet per second up to 1400 ft per second- or faster. BTW, there are MANY different "9mm" pistol cartridges- the speed I just gave you is for the 9mm Parabellum- aka 9mm Luger.
Millimeters, it is the size of the bullet.
A 9mm pistol is a pistol that fires a bullet which is 9 MMs in diameter.
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.
No
No, 9 mm and .380 ACP (Automatic Colt Pistol) are not the same, although they are similar in some respects. The .380 ACP has a bullet diameter of approximately 9 mm, but its case length and overall design differ from the 9 mm Parabellum (9x19 mm), which is more powerful and commonly used in various firearms. Therefore, they are not interchangeable and should not be confused with each other.
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]
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]

The diamater of a 9mm parabellum bullet is 9.03 millimeters, or .356 of an inch.

Perhaps the most common 9mm CARTRIDGE is the 9mm Parabellum- commonly called the 9mm Luger. And it IS for an automatic pistol (and carbine and submachinegun). However, there are probably a dozen or more OTHER "9mm" cartridges- many fairly scarce- such as the 9mm Makarov, 9mm Browning Long, 9mm Kurz (the .380) etc. They are different and do not interchange.
