shooter games made the shooters accurate. In, I believe that time period, here was a rash of robbery shootings by 14+- y.o. boys where clerks were shot center forehead from waist level. The military used some of those games to train close combat marksmanship until they developed their own systems.

Shooting accurately is muscle memory from practice. Video games either use a keyboard and mouse, or joystick/controller. Neither combo will impart the necessary muscle memory for accurate shooting.

Morons!

Yes, lets blame it on video games.. ANYTHING but shit parenting from the adult spoiled children of us baby-boomers.

arthurus- Where do you get this crap? I am both a shooter and a gamer. I can say with conviction that there's no firearm available to the general public that is aimed with the thumb like they are in video games. So how do they make the perp "more accurate"?

DU is missing a coupla village idiots.. Go home.. d:^|
