Oh wait. I play FPS's quite often. I love them. Can I shoot a real gun, yes. Am I as good at shooting a real gun as I am in a video game, no. Am I working on it, you bet! Some day I might be a better shot then the video games. Most FSP's don't take into account the laws of physics. Such as, but not limited to gravity and how it effects the bullet path(trajectory). Other considerations, wind. Battle Field 2 does have trajectory, but it is not very realistic.
But just like with any hobby, you have to practice, you have to invest time, you have to get the best equipment you can afford.
Back to the music topic, I can play a guitar, but not very well. Chris M. (Bruspeed) is an excellent guitar player. For me, I enjoyed the challange of trying to learn to play the guitar. But I had to realize after a while that I wasn't going to be a virtuoso with the guitar, let alone be somewhat talented. I wish I was, but the way my brain works it is never gonna happen. I don't have the dedication nor the time to put into guitars to make me even somewhat good.
So, I put time and effort into something I know I am good at. Shooting sports. I am not the best, but I sure have a grand old time in competition with some great shooters. One is a fellow member here and the other half of the SECCS Shooting team. Scotty is a great shot, and I have learned more from him then he has learned from me. I appreciate having the talent around to help guide me.
I still play video games in my spare time. Do I know when to stop and do something constructive, sure.
