I've heard of people refer to the trope or genre as "killer cuties" adolescent, preteen, or teen girls on murdering or revenge killing sprees. Movies include: Carrie, Kickass, Hanna, Logan (wolverine spinoff), Suckerpunch, characters like XMen Rouge, and the young yakuza girl in Kill Bill, Claudia in Interview with a Vampire, and even Rey in Star Wars. Generally interpreted as addressing unspoken anxiety of society unease with adolescent girls coming of age when they discover and express independence and sexuality.
Other genres mix violence with feminine power like motherhood/reproductiive rights addressed in both Alien, Terminator, Species series.

Alien, Terminator and the like are adult women. The other examples are of teens becoming adults. The examples OP is insinuating and the ones I was referring (without mentioning I guess? I forget) are of pre-teen children with those actual personalities. It's not like a rugrat cartoon where they are babies but have childlike personalities or like Stewy from Family Guy. They're literal children as protagonist handling guns or weapons.
