Yes, and you can use a Lamborghini exclusively for trips to the grocery store three blocks away, buy why would you?
Interesting analogy. The Lamborghini owners at my kids' school use them as commuter vehicles and for taking their kids to and from school. There are few places you can go in the US to drive them to their capacity, legally.

People drive all sorts of vehicles that have unused capabilities, be they sportscars, trucks, sandrails, or sedans. I don't think the automotive analogy is a good one.

Just because something can be shot longer range, does not mean it is a waste to shoot shorter range. But let's say 1000 yards sounds really impressive. Is it really compared to the distance the gun can fire? No. People rarely fire their centerfire guns to their distance capacity.

BTW, I am a Barrett M82A1 owner.
