    The definition is not vague.

    pierce
    pɪəs/Submit
    verb
    1.
    (of a sharp pointed object) go into or through (something).

    By definition, if the bullet (whether round, pointy, stuffed animal, piece of toast) is going fast enough to GO INTO the object, it is piercing. Your reference to the golf ball is piercing if it is travelling at a fast enough speed.

    Even then something sharp is truly "round" at the tip on a microscopic scale. it is impossible to make something into a truly perfect point.
