Gun Enthusiasts Complain About the "Call of Duty Effect"

Guns are not toys. There needs to be serious gun law changes in the US. Here in Australia if you don't have a legitimate reason for owning a gun, you simply won't get a licence to own one. Simple as that. I know I can walk down the street and not get shot at by some lunatic. Anyway what the hell do these people need an assault rifle for anyway? They do have limited domestic applications after all.
Also I wonder how many of those idiots signed up to the military, because of a game.

it's crazy that some people actually belive that they have any real gun-experience based on videogames. No matter how realistic a game is it is impossible for the current generation of gaming to make a game that give the slightest knowledge on how to use a real gun.
It would be like thinking you can be a blacksmith based on your experience from Fable 2. Or beliving you're comprehending the skills of a sword from the new edition of Wii-sport.

Toothless rednecks inherit their firearms for the most part, bypassing a huge number of gun laws. Rednecks who do not inherit are the very reason gun dealers are used to retards.Archangel357 said:
Aside: Rednecks are usually fairly responsible as gun owners, surprisingly. There are always exceptions, of course.
Also I think no videogame get the spare mags right.
aside from the fact that in games you carry LOADS of ammo.
(well if it helps the gameplay - you have to neutralize unrealisticly many threats - so be it)
But no experienced shooter would fully load his clips. They would carry 28/30 or 29/30 but
never 30/30 in a spare mag outside the shooting range...

Rifles, sub-machine guns and automatic pistols:Bob_F_It said:
1. Safety on.
2. Open chamber.
3. Remove clip.
4. Remove offending round
5. Reinsert clip.
6. Close chamber (thus chambering the next round)
7. Fire.
PS: ALWAYS KEEP THE GUN POINTED DOWNRANGE!
Revolvers
1. Ignore offending round till it's time to reload
2. Keep firing.
Not a gun nut, but I've done my military service. Actually spent it at the firing range so I picked up a few things. Tested the AG3, MP5, Glock and L85A1 (british assault rifle. Tested this in LMG configuration).
PS: The L85A1 is a piece of crap. The magazine has to be CAREFULLY inserted, unlike the slamming home of the AG3. The loading arm is small and hard to reach. the safety is a small (as in 1-2 mm diameter) button that is way to easy to push by accident. Just my personal opinions though, and I'm not a professional.
Oh, gasp. The occasional retard thinks a form of artificial media qualifies them to operate a complex death-machine in real life. Batten down the hatches, because it's not like we've been going through this storm since the dawn of *any* fiction.
Obvious troll is obvious, but I'll humor your iron-clad argument. I take it you've never played either of them?CORRODED SIN said:
I'd like to see those morons try to RELOAD a gun. I can assure you, No game can ever teach you how to reload.
Then there's people who think they know about grenades.... my god the true purpose of grenades in real life is far from how games incorparate them.
Then Special explosives like C4 or a Claymore mine, Setting one up takes alot of time and most definately takes skill plus like i said above in real life they are used very differently.
Oh and real spawning happens usually in a hospital room.

As far as i know, guns soul purpose is to Kill, maim or injure.
I say keep them to the armed forces and computer games only, then we'd have no enthusiasts to complain about that small minority of brain dead gamers who mix up the real world and games. Head shot some noobs indeed, pfft.

Heh, I find this kinda funny.
Although it is quite true. Games do give us knowledge on a range of guns.
Or at least lets us know they exist, and what they look like. :|

*sigh* there is a difference between recognising something and really "knowing" about it, and yet another vast chasm between knowing about something and really being able to use it safely.
I would easily recognise a Buggati Veyron but I know that getting behind the wheel and trying to use the bugger would be a recipie for expensive disaster.
Likewise with firearms.
I airsoft (milsim) with a lot of Trained firearm officers and Millitary or Ex-Millitary types (along with JOE IT Day job etc) and the big difference is you not only learn about weapons, but the respect and consideration due when handling them.
Something a lot of idiots don't get (sometimes even after loosing an eye...)
To those I say we let Darwinism take it's course, it's only inevitable after all.
(Remembers the guy with a weapon jam taking his saftey goggles off to stare down the barrel while pulling the trigger to "see" what was stuck being rugby tackbled by the marshall to stop him blinding himself)

One kind of nerd is annoyed at another kind of nerd. It happens all the time,
But it never stops being funny

I can't decide whether this is more depressing or scary.
Oh well. At the very least, it'll give more people an interest in military trivia.

That image is rather worrying. But hey, if they're using the wrong ammunition for their weapon, at least natural selection will kick in when they look down the barrel to see what's wrong...JWAN said:
OT: Words fail me. That sort of idiocy is going to get people killed. I've played CoD4, Arma II, and Operation Flashpoint 2, and I would not consider them to be good examples of firearms handling. What little I do know about firearms and gun safety, I researched myself. And I still wouldn't trust myself with any loaded weapon.
