Point and click shooter games actually train you for use of real firearms

According to Lt. Col Grossman in his book on Combat that I'm reading right now. I never much liked console games but after reading that I found a cheap way to practice my marksmanship!

Anyone know what the good point and click console shooter games are today?

I think that America's Army 3 is supposed to be a really realistic fps. Also it's free.

I gotta say, being a rather big shooter game player myself, that it doesn't really help with marksmanship Razz

Grossman's an awesome speaker. If anyone ever gets a chance to attend one of his workshops, I recommend they do so. It honestly changed how I look at what I do.

The old Operation Flashpoint or the arma series... Some of the best out there and most realistic imo.

Excellent video series on combat/killing

Also I found an excellent Weapons Training Simulator. It's for the Wii and it is called Reload.

VIDEO ON THE BOTTOM IS VERY GRAPHIC. DO NOT WATCH IF YOU ARE NOT OLDER THEN 18 YEARS OLD.

It's more like shooters develop your hand-eye coordination than your actual skills with a firearm, but you're just better with firearms if you have a good hand-eye coordination. You're also better at peeling vegetables. Call of Duty made me a good cook.

Just marksmanship? Try wasteland survival.

going to call shananigans on this one, if that were the case it wouldn't be so hard to coach new shooters.

Yep...total BS on that. My son is great at the shooter games, but put my USP in his hands and his patterns look like buck shot Rolling Eyes

Airsoft is much better at training combat shooters. All teh "feel" without all that nasty blood and death thing when you screw up (and cheaper than sim-rounds).

You learn how to look down sights and if the animations are right you can learn how to load and rack a firearm. The accuracy is another thing, as most first person shooters have pretty much dead on accuracy. Also the kick back isn't as extreme in video games in my experiences.

Killzone 3 is a good Shooter. It's for PS3. It has class based online multiplayer.

not to mention how much accuracy really drops running and gunning
