Found it MDing. Any ideas??

At first I thought it was a bullet, but after I cleaned it up thought maybe a pen nib. Now I really have no idea what it is. It seems to heavy to be a pen nib. Then front of it also appears to be smashed a little, and I don't think is supposed to be bent in like that. Any input would be really appreciated! Thanks!

Looks like the lead from a .50 cal shell red tip is for armor piercing.

Thanks Taz! Any idea what the black tip would be for? Also, do you know if the back of it matches up with the back of the bullet?
