A gun's primary purpose is not to kill a human being by default.
A gun is designed to fire bullets, the bullet is designed to inflict intended levels of damage upon the target of choice. A single gun can have ammunition that ranges from no damage whatsoever to any target up to beyond lethal to a living target.
In other words, your gun's primary purpose is what you decide it is.
