bullet-nose
Rounded projectile shape
Bullet-nose describes something shaped like the rounded, tapered front of a bullet.
The term appears most often for car designs from the 1950s with prominent rounded grilles: a 1950 Studebaker bullet-nose.
Also applies to pliers, chisels, and other tools with similarly rounded tips.
