No difference in function or purpose.
Calling stupid stupid is not an insult. It is an attempt to educate.
Of course a sniper rifle is an example of a firearm designed to kill but the .22 cal. Olympic TARGET rifle that I showed is designed to win gold medals at the Olympics.
That is its sole purpose.
The targets that the US Olympic shooting team uses to practice are not human shaped targets either. They're simple "Bullseye" targets.
Another example is the difference between a bayonet and a ham carving knife.
The bayonet is designed to kill because of the blood groves along the blade.
A ham carving knife, however, does not but, like a hammer, a vehicle, poison, rope etc, it can be used to kill.
Since the US Olympic Rifle team members are not going on to become snipers, there's no way in which the target rifle I showed was designed to kill.
Therefore, it's a fact that not all firearms are designed to kill.
"GUIDE TO OLYMPIC SHOOTING EVENTS AND WHAT TEAM USA IS UP TO"
EXCERPT "Shooting events don’t get all the glory at the Summer Olympic Games — not the way mainstream sports like swimming, track, and gymnastics do. But if you watched the 2020 games in Tokyo, you know that shooting events are plenty of fun to watch. And the United States always dominates Olympic shooting. The U.S. has earned 116 medals since shooting first entered the modern Olympic games in 1896. China comes in at a distant second place with 67 total medals, 26 of them golds." CONTINUED
