Homo Sapiens have been murdering each other on this planet for at least 10,000 to 100,000 years, and have only used burning-powder projectile launch tubes for roughly the past 1000 years. (Poison darts launched from a blowgun are a more ancient form of killing tube.)
When convenient projectile launching killing tubes aren't available, Homo Sapiens will rapidly revert to 10,000+ year old murder methods, and thus a husband inflamed with murder-rage who just learned his wife's ovaries have been voluntarily fertilized by another man's semen will not infrequently use punches or a nearby blunt object (hammer or rock) to fracture her skull and destroy her brain function, or use his hands to crush her windpipe, or bleed her out with a knife. This has been happening essentially every year for at least the past 10,000 years. If his wife had been armed with a handheld projectile launching killing tube she could have defended herself, but women frequently don't carry projectile tubes and frequently vote for restricting access to projectile tubes, because projectile tubes are loud and scary and make them feel unsafe.
Homo Sapiens have been killing each other on this planet for at least 10,000 years, and only used nuclear weapons for roughly the last 75 years.... If his wife had been armed with an M-28 Davy Crockett firing an M-388 round using a W54 Mod 2 with a yield of 84GJ, she could easily have deterred him, but she would not be legally allowed to carry military weapons.
Maintain the purity of your bodily fluids, friend!
