[QUOTE="Doom2, post: 2646148, member: 108323"] The answer is yes. In fact the finer the tip is the faster it should heat. Most metals in use for bullets do not have structural issues from heating due to there short flight time. True supersonic design aircraft have to make provisions for dissipating heat that it encounters. A more blunt nose will have more drag but the the shock wave tends to be further away from the nose.
