40K's got a while to go, though.

I'm being pedantic, but many are designed to take the lives of animals rather than people. Absurdly heavy precision .22 cal target rifles are clearly only for sport.

A few are designed to launch flares high into the air for communication. A very small number are designed to trigger avalanches under controlled conditions.

It's two states, but boy, we didn't expect the US to be one of them!

Another drawback is that they are more affected by atmospheric conditions such as rain and dust than projectile weapons are.
