Lack of accuracy.
Most of my target rifles were 22LR.
They'd be deadlier used as clubs than to shoot anyone.
So no...they weren't designed to kill anyone or anything.
Um...I own a Remington 550. No way that is not a deadly rifle. Does it have the stopping power of a .308 Winchester? No, but I'd much rather have someone trying to swing it at me than shoot me with it.
Guns are designed as tools to kill, whether we use them as such or not.
