Etymology
Bullet-headed for a stubborn or foolish person comes from the same parts: bullet ('small metal projectile') and headed ('having a head'). The idea is that the head is hard or thick like a bullet, so calling someone that says they are 'stubborn' or 'foolish', similar to saying they are 'hard-headed'.
