The main difference between a 9mm and a .45 caliber bullet is the diameter. A 9mm bullet has a diameter of 9 millimeters, while a .45 caliber bullet has a diameter of .45 inches. The .45 caliber bullet is larger and generally heavier than the 9mm bullet, resulting in differences in recoil, speed, and stopping power.

They are most certainly measured differently. The "50" in 50 caliber is measuring in inches and should actually be referred in writing as ".50 Caliber." The "5.56" is in millimeters (mm) and should be written as "5.56mm".To compare the two:.50 Caliber = 1/2 inch = 12.7mm5.56mm = ~ .2189 inchSo the .50 caliber bullet is roughly 2.28 times wider than the 5.56mm caliber bullet.
A 22 caliber bullet is 22/100 inches in diameter. A 7.62 mm bullet is 30 caliber or 30/100 inches in diameter there is no such thing as a 7.62 caliber bullet
Yes, a 45 caliber bullet is bigger than a 40 caliber bullet. A .45 is0.45 inches wide in diameter and a .40 is 0.4 inches in diameter.
The .22 bullet is smaller than the 9mm in size, (about 6mm) and is lighter in weight.
There are various difference, but the most common answer would be the .45 is .05 of an inch larger in diameter than a .40.
Yes, a 9mm caliber round is generally more powerful than a .380 ACP bullet. The 9mm typically has a larger case capacity and can accommodate more gunpowder, resulting in higher velocity and energy upon firing. This increased power translates to greater stopping power and penetration compared to the .380 caliber.
There are several DIFFERENT .32 caliber cartridges. The .32 bullet is smaller in diameter than a .380. SOME .32 cartridges are longer, and have more power, such as the .327 magnum. And some .32 pistols are smaller than some .380 pistols, and vice versa. The caliber has nothing to do with the size of the gun.
Unimpeded, a .22LR caliber bullet can travel up to 2000 yards. Its effective distance is, of course, much shorter than that.
25-06: The 25 means that it is a 25 caliber. The 06 means that it is a longer bullet than a regular 25 caliber bullet
When people talk of a 38, they mean .38 caliber, or 38/100th of an inch. Likewise, a 45 is .45 caliber or 45/100th of an inch. 45 > 38 so a 45 has a larger diameter. However, there are different lengths for each of those calibers, so a .38 Special is longer than a .45 ACP so in THAT sense, a 38 is larger (longer) than a 45.
