I think it only asks the rifle/pistol question on certain calibers that are commonly used in both. When I buy 9mm the register only asks the associate if I'm over 21.

It's because of the difference in age requirements for handgun and rifle ammo. The computer asks because if she says yes it's for pistol, it will ask her to verify the customer is over 21. It's 18 otherwise. I think they do that because not every cashier is expected to be up on the laws relating to ammo sales.
