    The pointed tip was seen in Ep III, in the original trilogy, they were basically rounded. It's all up to what each individual likes.

    I've used both and have to agree with forgetful jedi knight that it really is just a matter of preference. They have identical functions and both look good.

    With regards to dueling/choreo I prefer to get hit with a rounded tip. The bullets look cool but have a tendency to cut in a glancing blow.

    Several friends of mine have used the bullet tips and they've had issues keeping them on (perhaps the added mass/leverage?), but the again it could just be because they didn't glue theirs on too well. xD> In my opinion, rounded looks a lot better with color polyC since it doesn't stand out as much, but I can see the bullet tip making a saber look overall more aggressive as well. I bet the bullet tip would look great in those spear sabers people tend to fabricate.

    I prefer round tips for dueling or Original Trilogy sabers and I prefer pointed tips for Prequel Trilogy sabers.

    All my blades have pointed tips
