Putting multiple rounds into a single target who could fight back.
Bambi isn’t packing heat, so bolt-action and significant recoil are fine. Pistols are decent against dangerous targets, but you do need intense concentration to hit anything, and the ideal range is kinda oh-shit territory for long teeth or short blades.
What assault rifles all have in common is that you can empty the magazine into a tight grouping with relatively little effort. Your entire upper body is used to aim and stabilize semi-auto fire for potentially dozens of rounds. There are other design goals in play, but that’s the core that’s relevant here.
There is a reason military long guns look the way they do. It is much the same reason school shooters tend to pick that shape. They are designed for shooting people.
