I wonder why that particular shape got so much popularity.

I'm inclined to think the appearance is based more on dynamite used in mining or other non-weaponized purposes.
I'm gonna blow your chrysanthemum up, believe it or not.
Literal meaning. The intended meaning (jokingly) for 爆菊 (lit. blowing up one's "chrysanthemum") is to screw someone or shove something up their ass so hard they have a torn anus.
