Gun Enthusiasts Complain About the "Call of Duty Effect"

Yeah, people who think they know a thing or two just because they've played FPS...dumbasses. Some of the guns do feature the reality of their real-world counter parts, others are just stupid parodies. As though Infinity Ward got military advisors to help them make the game and guns "realistic" and then just decided to ignore certain things. For instance an M16A4 and an M4A1 are chambered in the exact same round, for the lay man that is they fire the exact same bullet. same size, same amount of power. And yet the M16A4 does more damage than the other for whatever reason. Same goes for the Vector and the UMP, they're both chambered in .45 ACP and yet the Vector does less damage. Go figure? Want a realistic game, play Rainbow Six Vegas 2, it's as close to how guns really work as you'll get and you won't see any F***tard shooting people while he's Dual "Wieldan". Also, a shotgun that was made ove 100 years ago should not be the best secondary weapon in the game.
P.S no one in the military or self-respecting "gun enthusiast" calls that thing the feeds ammunition in to your weapon a "clip". It's called a magazine, the clip is a device that is used to store multiple rounds of ammunition together as a unit, ready for insertion into the magazine of a repeating firearm. This speeds up the process of loading the firearm as several rounds can be loaded at once, rather than one round being loaded at a time.

At that last lil bit, with the guy actually in the gun store, at the original post:
:O !!! Holy crap, this makes me firmly apply my palm to my face, multiple times. I almost feel like this the story actually can't be true, and that we are in fact not that STUPID.
...
Then I think about some of the more ridiculously dumb things I've heard of people doing, and then I think that there are a whole lot of people who play CoD, Halo, etc., and there must be at least some of them that are as incredibly dumb as that kid there.
Now you have me worried. Damn.

Oh, I see. So after investing innumerable hours and gaining mastery of the controls...you claim that there's no 'skill' required because you're good at them. Just because something is *easy* for you doesn't mean that you didn't need to first acquire the means to *make* it easy. You described the exact way that most people get good at a video game, then made the assertion that getting better at something you invest time and effort in means that there's no skill in it.CORRODED SIN said:
Fun difference between needing another hand to do something and needing another hand to do something remotely well. I'd love to see you do better than utter shit on MW2's online while only using one hand.CORRODED SIN said:
I guess they are similar, but not entirely. If you had to order it:Eclectic Dreck said:
Real gun>Paintball Gun>Nerf Gun
Their just... different.
Although I am sure this has been replied to multiple times within the 16 pages of this thread:Bob_F_It said:
I would put the safety on, eject the magazine, work the bolt or slide three times to clear the chamber, leave the bolt/slide back on the third try, reinsert the magazine, turn the safety off, and release the bolt/slide. Then I would be ready to fire again.
Although preferably I would be firing something without a tendency to misfire, like a Heckler & Koch.
Also, being a Texan AND a gamer, I fall in the middle on this one. I know a fair amount from my real life experiences with firearms but still get a peek at military guns from Discovery Channel and games like CoD and Rainbow Six.
As an avid weapons enthusiast first and a gamer somewhere along the line after that I can say that it is a real thing, but Call of Duty Anything Under The Sun is hardly the first cause of this. With each new movie or game that comes out there is a slew of people who want to know about/buy/look at/ talk out of their hindquarters the new shiny whatever it is. Countless times I have been asked to broker deals for a particular weapon or been asked if a person could fire one of my own personal collection. Class III firearms are legal but the process to get them are more than most people are willing to go through, that?s before the cost is even taken into consideration. Personally its somewhat of a curse to see a weapon botched in the movies or in a game, resulting in persons calling a P90 a F90, thank you Socom, or more threatening happens like breaking collar bones and bruising wrists from firing large caliber weapons they are not properly trained or prepared for. For the most part these people are harmless barring the sad accident in which someone other than themselves is hurt but many if not all will walk away after seeing their first multi-thousand dollar military quality firearm. The blog operators reaction may be odd but it can be seen if you go to your music obsessed friend and misname their favorite band or go to a soccer match full of hooligans with the other side?s colors on. Some things you just don?t do.
?..and yes I cried when they tossed the AR-18 off the truck in Terminator.

Same people think that when you look through a scope on a sniper, it automatically ajusts so the bullet always hiys right where the crosshairs are.
I have the exact video for this moment...Char-Nobyl said:

For those of you that wan't to know, its a guy playing Nazi Zombies (COD 5) with his FACE! Thats right, no hands just full face on controller action.
Oh yeah, he's good.
Ha! some of you are doing what me and a friend of mine started doing - placing game notions in the real world. (I.E. : 'Press "A" to shoot!' or, press [whatever button it is, usually up on the D-pad, or analog stick] to go up the ladder!)
I've heard more game references and internet memes in my [not actually going to tell you what level class] science class than any actual science. 0.o lmao...
BTW, anyone seen the Tomb Raider series' newest game? (it's been around about a year now, lol)
Here's a preview:
