“war crime is because…”
of use against primarily civilians
Honestly, it does not matter the weapon, targeting primarily civilians brings up war crime status.
For example, when Russians & Turks & National Socialists marched civilians [or even disarmed soldiers] to large pits, shoot them with rifles, and bury them… these are war crimes, even done with rifles.
It is unrelated to nationality & even weapons used, but the target of the action often determines the status.
(There are some other examples, like dam breeched, nuclear power plant targeting, etc. which falls into the war crime arena)
