Not useful, easier. ‘Heavy’ weapons would change ‘people at large’ to a small group or single individual.

I don’t believe “heavy weapons” was mentioned in the Federalist Papers. And where did you get the “people at large” versus “small group or single individual”?
Again, not in the Federalist Papers.
If your argument is that a grenade should be illegal because it can allow a single individual to take out a large number of people (which appears to be what you’re saying), then you obviously think automatic guns should be illegal too.
