That’d be the specific caliber, not the gun itself necessarily, but also: Not really. The primary purpose is again “to fire,” you have to make the distinction of what it is fired at.
Hell, most guns in the US never even shoot people nor animals over the course of their existence, most by far will only ever shoot paper or steel, so if you have to pick one it seems like they’re designed for target shooting to me.
I’d argue the purpose of almost any handgun is to be fired at a human, any target practice is just preparation in case that happens.
There have only ever been two nuclear bombs dropped in anger in human history, does that mean the purpose of a nuke is to be carried around on a submarine or sit in a warehouse somewhere?
That depends on why you bought it. Did you buy it to carry and defend yourself, or did you buy it to leave in a box unloaded until you decide to hit the range?
Honestly? Yes, the point of nukes seems to be moreso MAD than actually blowing shit up.
