So you mean to tell me that knives and machetes are primarily used to kill people every day instead of cutting rope, vines, etc?
Cars were designed to kill people? Is that why the 1894 velo was designed? To kill people? Definitely not designed to transport people I guess. If you walk in front of a train going even 15 mph, your corpse would be so destroyed that it would not even be recognizable. Are trains designed to kill then?
Hell, by your logic, anything that has the capability to kill is designed to kill, did you know that if you drink too much water, you can die? Guess water’s designed to kill too, I guess.
this is exactly my point. It’s such a broad and wide reaching statement, that it completely excludes sport, and hunting. As well as defense, from what guns were designed to do. It’s just frankly a stupid statement to make.
Yes, and so is a lathe, and a mill, and a wheel, and a grinder, and hell, even a firearm! Did you know that anything that isn’t a shotgun has a rifled barrel? Meaning it spins the projectile so that it has potential energy keeping it better on target, even in windy conditions? That fact wasn’t really relevant though just figured I’d throw it in there.
Pretty much almost all work done by humans involves some kind of circular motion to perform it. When you swing your arm, you are going along a circular motion. Even most machines that perform work linearly use circular motion, such as a reciporicating saw or a band saw, as they still use gears/sprockets to perform motion.
Though saying it was designed to spin fast is a bit of a misunderstanding. You don’t necessarily need to spin fast, different materials need different speeds and feeds in order to be machined properly and efficiently(drilling is in fact, a form of machining).
A drill doesn’t technically spin either, the toolholder is what spins. I was mostly referring to how pretty much almost everything we do involves some sort of circular motion as a method of action. I guess you could technically say that it is until the projectile leaves the barrel? Idk I say your point stands better on that front.
Btw, we are so off topic at this point that this is basically just a discussion on how tools work, honestly more interesting than hearing the trillionth discussions on guns though tbh

Guns were not designed to defend, they were designed to, once again, fire a projectile.

i mean, technically a firearm doesn’t spin, the barrel is design to make the bullet spin upon firing though.
though again, this was probably demonstrating my point, that i previously made, which i no longer remember, nor do i care.

yet again, that was my point.
