The hand
gun has no other purpose than to shoot other people.


Where did you get that idea? There are entire categories of competion
using handguns (ever heard of the Olympics?) and many hunter use them
as a greater challenge than long guns.

Many people compete with military-style rifles,too;AR-15's,bolt-action
rifles,even .50BMG rifles.

IIRC,the Barrett M82A1 (.50BMG) was developed for civilian use,then bought
by the US military.
