Only designing for a single use lets it be much more lightweight, durable, and cheap (the components need to only withstand a single shot). It’s not a new concept either, the original Panzerfaust from WW2 was a single use anti-tank gun.
Not defending fascists, but most assault rifles today can trace some design lineage back to the StG 44. Which is usually regarded as the first practical assault rifle.
Yeah, the design of the AK-47 was strongly inspired by the StG 44. Just because a technology originated in a fascist country doesn’t mean that it’s necessarily shit.

Maybe basing your military tech off of an evil military that also absolutely ate shit is not a good idea
