AR stands for Armalite. You should do some research before you make yourself look this retarded trying to show up someone else. The original rifle was the AR10, chambered in 308. Then Eugene Stoner and Armalite worked to combine the .223 Remington round and the AR10. The result was the Armalite model 15.

To the OP no, 380 is not almost 9mm. There may be only 2mm in case length difference (.380 = 9x17mm, 9mm = 9x19mm) but the rounds are quite different.

9mm is a higher pressure round and gives more velocity. It is seen as the minimum for personal defense, but I think 380 is fine.

380 may not be as good as 9mm, but it's better than nothing. And the portability of the 380 cannot be beat. That's the big advantage there.
