Why do most bullets have a flat or truncated aft section? Why isn't the trailing part of a bullet shaped more pointedly, like a submarine? I would imagine that it would make it that much faster, achieving higher velocity along it's flight.
Only think I'm not sure of is how bowder burning and expanding gasses would affect a conical shape instead of a flat one.
Anyone have any ideas on this?
