It can give you hand eye coordination and reaction timing which are fundamentals to shooting.

Come on be reasonable to the dissenting perspective.  You pick up guns in the game and aim it at people and shoot them.

I agree with you I guess, but just to play the devils advocate, what about the kid in Paduca, [sic] Kentucky, who on his rampage fired 8 shots hit with all 8 and 7 out of the eight were headshots. Supposedly he had never held a gun in his life.

Accuracy doesn't have a prerequisite of holding a gun.

Neanderthal Jack Thompson should focus on Paintball and Airsoft guns if he was really concerned about violence induced acts... but oh wait, the media wouldn't pay any attention...

Typical moronathon vying for the spotlight.

Does that mean you believe his accuracy came from playing games or he was just lucky or what? Because 100% accuracy with seven headshots, if the reporting was true, is uncanny. The accuracy came from someplace, maybe the reporting was biased and they never mentioned he was one foot away from the victims or something.

I have to say, playing Call of Duty did help when I shot a Luger in real life. But in general, games don't help at all.

My point is, that being an accurate shot has nothing to do with being skill with a gun.  My mom has never fired a gun in her life, yet was an impeccable shot at duck hunt from 10 feet away.  I've never fired a gun in my life, yet I guarantee I have the necessary motor skills and reaction speed to do what he did (though I doubt I'm ever gonna commit a serial slaying).

If you use GTA's scheme to learn how to shoot at people, you won't hit anything.

This is technically true, but Duck Hunt or Point Blank would be a thousand times superior for that purpose.
