The shape looks good. But shouldn't the material be different? Pointed 
projectiles made of (or coated with) a soft material such as copper 
doesn't make any sense to me (I'd expect something like steel, maybe 
with a core of lead), and I always thought the cartridge casing would 
typically be made of brass.

Good-looking copper though. What settings did you use?

Area light could do with a smaller size (or further away) - the shadow 
seems unnaturally soft for that small distance between bullet and wall.
