What is the best shape for a rocket?
The best shape for a rocket is a cylinder, or tube, whose height is 10-20 times its diameter. Multiple cap designs are used, from simple conic to complex obloid to the strange areospike, all have various drag coefficients and specific uses.
Why is a rocket a pointed shape?

What is the most effective shape for a rocket?
A teardrop is the most aerodynamically effective shape for a rocket travelling through the atmosphere.

For a rocket operating outside the atmosphere, shape is irrelevant because it will not encounter drag no matter how un-aerodynamic the shape.

What is the best wing shape of a toy rocket?
This depends on many things, it varies with the agle you are goint to shoot it with and the funktion of the rocket (length, stability, perhaps returning to the shooter) Assuming your rocket is to be launched straight up in the air the wings is only a mean of stabilizing it. For this kind of rocket the wings should be hard and has as little resistance as possible The shape should be like the triangular ones you see in the movies and you should use about 3 or 4 of them hope this helps:)
