hunting - can be limited as no one hunts with a hand gun and it's really not sporting to use napalm so why use an automatic?
self defence - bit of a catch 22, but we can give you knives for that; one v one they should do about the same.
target shooting - a sport; i'm sorry but just let this one go. there are other sports; including the javelin if you're worried about your madculinity or golf if you are too old/fat to do anything else
gun collecting - fine. you can remove the interior mechanisms and make the gun functionless. they are not aesthetically affected.
