firearms in nz are not designed to kill humans, they are designed to kill animals and shoot targets. the fact that they can kill humans is just another possible use much in the same way that a hammer, knife, machete, chainsaw or other TOOL could be used to kill a human.
if a gun is designed to kill people it would not have any features that reduce its effectiveness. so when an M16 has its ability to be fully automatic removed and made in its civilian version ie an AR15 with semi-auto only and with a limited capacity of 7 rounds it can hardly be its most efficient but still perfectly alright for target shooting or general hunting
