Can this make you a sharp shooter?

[GmanJoe]

How about this one?



What about this controller? Surely it makes somebody a sharp shooter?





Yes? No?

I asked you a dumb question, didn\'t I?

Biggest load of BS I ever heard.

How long will people stay undeducated on games?

oy yeah cos all sniper guns are used my pressing a stick on a bit of plastic...... to be honest shooting a rifle, or even with telescopic sight isnt hard.... i know to be very good you needs lots of training.. but i mean a game doesnt make u a sniper

"You go to video game chat rooms and you have the proclamation \'I am God\' all over the place," said Thompson, an advocate of regulations to keep violent video games out of the hands of minors.

jesus jst when i start to feel better about the world i live im reminded how ignorant and flat out stupid people are.

I don\'t know, but if you grab any of those controllers by the cord and swing the controller over your head like a cowboy yelling "Woo Hoo", you could probably give somebody a pretty good concussion with it.

They always blame videogames and movies.And I say there are millions of gamers and movie viewers outhere.I am.You are.Almost everyone is.

"This murderous spree is the act of a deranged and sick individual," he said. "It\'s not violent media that create sociopathic personalities."

"The notion that using a mouse or controller in a video game can teach people to be a sharpshooter is absurd," he added.

Well said.

Hhaah!

Yeah there is a lot of difference.You have to control your breath,hold the gun the right way so it wont slip from your hands,and keep the appropriate scoping position.You also have to adjust the scope with sighting shots.And needs occasional precise adjustment to be sure your sniper scope and the gun are targeting accurately.

Even with the sniper scope adjusted at prone position and having all the targeting time in your possession its difficult to hit the target precisely or even hit the target.

I ve shot with a G3A3 and Zastava a few times and beleive me its not very easy the first times..A gaming pad no way can teach u to shoot that accurate.

That sniper is trained.

thats such crap.  Someone like this has a mental problem.  Video games have not driven him to do what he is doing.  His victims can\'t be randomly picked.  They just havent found out the pattern yet.  killing his victims gives him a feeling of power or invicibility.  Give it awhile longer, they will figure out the pattern.  He\'s already shown some of his characteristics by leaving the tarat card.  He feels like he has control over who lives and who dies.  that has nothing to do with video games.  He will only get sloppier that this point.  Crazies, like this guy, are their own worst enemy.

oh wait i just remebered there wasn ever snipers before computer games, infact someone saw it on a com game, then mde a rifle...

Charles Whitman pwn3d at CS.

God damn I hate these kind of people. Shooting in real life is different than shooting in a game. I\'ve fired rifles before and it is definitely different. The weight of the gun helps throw you off. You have to have training in shooting a gun accurately or its just talent. Scarily, I\'m pretty accurate and video games had nothing to do with it (yeah, there\'s autoaim in real life :rolleyes: )
