Why don't bullets figure more heavily into arms-related symbolism?

The bullet is the power behind the gun, analogous to the arrow (which does get used symbolically.) You see a lot of symbolic swords and guns (missiles not so much, probably due to their being a newer technology). But they don’t appear on monuments or in paintings all that much.
Strikes me as odd considering that without bullets, guns are expensive pipes.
