   Warhead dynamics, for one. You’d need different shapes for different types of projectile, depending on the desired type of impact. Just as an example, HEAT (High Explosive Anti-Tank) missiles use a cone to focus the explosion into a thin jet, allowing the missile to pierce greater thicknesses of armor.

But isn’t that cone inverted within the shell body?
