I'd argue the purpose of almost any handgun is to be fired at a human, any target practice is just preparation in case that happens.

There have only ever been two nuclear bombs dropped in anger in human history, does that mean the purpose of a nuke is to be carried around on a submarine or sit in a warehouse somewhere?

That depends on why you bought it. Did you buy it to carry and defend yourself, or did you buy it to leave in a box unloaded until you decide to hit the range?

Honestly? Yes, the point of nukes seems to be moreso MAD than actually blowing shit up.
