Because conical sounds like comical and people didnt want to scare little babies with scary words so they said they used conical/"comical" bullets to keep everyone thinking that it was just a funny bullet that made you laugh when really it was going to kill you instantly.
Bullets that have conical points have better aerodynamics than round bullets (technically, the round projectiles are called shot, not bullets), therefore they are more able to fly in a straight path and hit their target accurately; they are also better able to penetrate their target. You could never make shot that can pierce armor, it needs a pointy tip.

What does a Confederate bullet look like?

Confederate bullets, while not as standardized as Union bullets, are often shaped as cylinders with a conical top section and a concave base. Less common, but still used occasionally, are round led balls.
How do you use conical in a sentence?
conical is an adjectiveso, for example: "It had a conical shape"
How long can bullets be left in a clip?
I have been told bullets can be left in the clip forever. I'm would think a service weapon clip is replaced more often.
Is a packed condenser more efficient then an Vigreux column?
Distillation is a common laboratory technique. It is used to separate mixtures with differing properties; the efficiency depends on the rate of heat exchange between the fluid being distilled and the coolant.Direct flow distillation: Suitable for mixtures, whose components have boiling points which differ by at least 25°C.Reverse flow distillation: The separation is successful for mixtures whose components have boiling points which differ by at least 0.5°C.Distillation Columns The diameter of the column defines the throughput and the acceptable pressure drop, while the height defines the distillate purity. Uncontrolled condensation on the column walls is reduced by insulation with silver coated vacuum jackets (10-6 mbar). The vacuum jacket has viewing strips.The column type and its packing also influence separation efficiency. Tapered glass items are available to US standards ASTM E676 Standard Column Types Packed Columns with Conical Ground Joints Packed columns can be fitted with different types of packing for various distillation requirements.Packed Columns with Conical & Spherical Joints Conical joint at the top and spherical joint at the bottom.Packed Columns with Spherical Ground JointsVigreux ColumnsVigreau Columns have a lower separating efficiency than packed columns with Rasching rings but can work with small volumes of fluid and produce low pressure losses.Vigreux Columns with Conical Ground JointsVigreux Columns with Conical and Spherical Ground JointConical joint at the top and spherical joint at the bottom.Vigreux Columns with Spherical Ground JointsBubble Cap Tray ColumnsBubble tray columns have high separating efficiencies, they are very suitable for analysis of processes that will be substantially scaled up.Bubble Cap Tray Columns with Conical JointsBubble Cap Tray Columns with Insulating Jacket
What is the meaning of conical flasks?

What is a sentence with the word 'conical'?

What were bullets made of in world war one?
I think most bullets have always been made, principally, of lead. Lead is soft, heavy & easy to mould or cast. In the times of Musketry bullets were spherical, rifling improved their ballistic qualities and they became pointed cylindrical in shape. Nowadays they are coated in copper, but lead is still their principal metal.
