It can be used to make one appear to be a "hard target". Anyone with any experience at all will tell you that the mere presence of a weapon can be a valuable deterrent.  

For instance in Afghanistan we were the first American forces to occupy an area known as Shindad. Whenever we rolled out the gate our crew served weapons were clearly visible; however our "hope" was never to use them. In 3 months of constant patrols we were not attacked once. When we left we were replace by a Military Police (MP) unit. They rode in their vehicles without their weapons exposed; they were attacked 3 times in 2 weeks. 

So yes: It can "Just look scary and hope one doesn't have to fire it." Perhaps you should get some rest if you're tired.
