So lately i been watching different YouTube videos on ARs, i read some comments and there arguing about who knows certain gun better. A lot of there references are because they play Call Of Duty or other tacitical gun games. Is that legit, cause they surely argue like it is haha lmao

Yup, it's legit.  I actually was doing really well on Madden one year, and got a couple calls from NFL teams looking for coaches...

Haha, people are idiots.  "Yeah, sure A-hole, I'm standing here looking at the gun in question right now, but I'm sure you're probably right.  COD is a very realistic game, after all."

No more than watching porn makes you a sex god
Though the amount of time I spend researching and learning about guns does show I'm a enthusiast

PLaying COD will advance you in many areas. Play it well enough and you can go be a SEAL, SF, Ranger.

I guess in a funny way battlefield 3 is the reason I got my 98b lol

one year, i got super good at COD.

then i got an email without a sender asking if i wanted to try out for the Seal Team Six.

I said yes, and within 30 minutes, a team stormed my house, stunned me and put a bag over my head.  an unknown amount of time passed, and then i learned i was in their super secret training facility.

So we began training.  one by one, recruits were kicked out of the compound.  some had failed the tac knife test, others were unable to pilot the killstreaks well.  But i made it through.

Then, the final test.  360 ladder stall no scopes.  I failed .  I took dropped from the roof, spun, and took a wild shot.  I was horrified to see a neat hole just 1 inch off of the target.

So they sent me home, and that's why i play Battlefield now.

I will admit though my 12 yr old can identify guns I don't even fricken know of,  I shit you not it does help me they are my gun dictionary when I don't know what type of firearm. But it ends there would not take the rest seriously and argue about the actual functions

I hear that the state is considering this for the training requirement for purchasing handguns.  If you can demonstrate proficiency in a realistic FPS, then that meets the requirement for training. 

I will say that I'm amazed at how much kids pick up playing these games.  When I volunteered for the SSF last year, I was on the 22 lr booth and it included guns like the 22 lr version of the MP5 and AR.  The MP5 would have the charging handle forward and I'd load up the mag and then hand the kid the gun.  Without skipping a beat, the kid slaps the charging handle down and is ready to go.  This kid is like 7-8 years old.  Surprised, I look at the father and asks if he's shot this gun before.  He says that he hasn't, but that he's learned that from playing COD (or whatever game).  This would happen tons of times throughout the day.  That the games are so realistic. 

That said, it's laughable at best that anyone would mention a video game as education, training, whatever for a firearm.  While I can see internet commandos arguing their points based on video games being their knowledge base, it's just ignorant people talking out of their ass, wanting to sound like they know.

lol.  before MW2 came and capped the fire rate of pistols, i used to be able to push the pistols in COD4 up to around 800 or 900 rpm in game.


fast mouse fingers ftw.

Yeah, man. Don't worry about getting shot. Just hide behind a piece of roofing metal for a few seconds and your health goes back up.

Don't hide behind a car, though. That sucker will blow up if it gets shot.

But more seriously.... yeah, the game designers do their homework and are very proud of that fact. Making the weapons as visibly authentic as they could be was a high priority for them so recognizing real life weapons based on seeing them in the game is to be expected. The application to real life end there.

But... ah... from conversations I've had with people who were in the military using MP5's and G3's - they were trained not to slap the paddle. Instead they just used their thumb to slide it down on the way to the foregrip. Faster target acquisition that way. Slapping the paddle is pure Hollywood.

Our world is based on technology so niche gotta make you think in a couple years will they be able to actually build robots that can be controlled like by Xbox or ps3

the movie wasnt very good, but an interesting concept, nonetheless.

Dude those guys are idjits.
Playing Battlefield 3 is where it's at.

I had an old co-worker that would talk to our military customers about shooting various weapons, from how he talked he SEEMED like he knew what he was talking about only to find out that he was talking about guns he was shooting on CALL OF DUTY.

and playing Street Fighter makes you good at MMA too.

if only BJ penn had played more Street FIghter, then maybe he could have beaten GSP with a Hadouken.

So are you telling me that watching all that porn DOES NOT make me a sex god? I am glad that most of my gun experience comes from the Army and shooting range and not COD.
