Some people do have a need, sometimes an urgent need, to kill others. Sorry if that mentality is a "bit silly."
The Whisper, for me, is the ultimate combat carbine round, so yes, I guess you could say I have a bent towards viewing the Whisper as a round whose main purpose is killing another person. Generally, we call them: "the enemy".
The 6.8x43 SPC is my favorite general-purpose assault rifle round, meaning, it is a good round for killing people, too.
Truth be known, the radio is generally the biggest/best killer, as artillery and/or air support is a much better method than small arms. Also, an M2 .50-cal or Mk-19 40mm are still preferable over small arms, but, if small arms are what is needed for the job or at hand, then I like the two calibers above.
Since my home is in a place where I can own more than one gun, I do tend to have weapons that specialize for certain tasks.
For plinking, I generally use a 22 lr.
For hunting, I like the 444 Marlin for short-medium range, and a 7mm Dakota for long-range tasks.
However, that doesn't mean that the 300 and 6.8 couldn't be used for hunting/plinking, and the 444, the 7mm, and certainly the 22, could be used for killing people... I just have my "silly" preferences as outlined above.
