Did games increase your interest in real guns ?

" @Hamst3r:  That sounds like an interesting project. But don't you need a special license for an AK-47 or the Remington shotgun ? 
 
@Lind_L_Taylor: Are you preparing for a zombie apocalypse ? :p

I wouldn't say that video games are the only reason I'm into guns. There's a bunch of reasons. For one I've always been into military, the other my grand father which whom I've spent much of my time growing up with was a hunter, and face it, what young boy doesn't find guns cool?

Not really. Ive been surrounded by guns since I was young, in fact, I even fired a .44 when I was only 6 and did some disc shooting with only 10 years of age. 
Of course, always under supervision of my father, and in some cases (.44 for example) with his aid. 
Now, Ive never gone hunting or anything, mostly I like precision shooting at ranges. Currently though, Im more interested in Long Bow firing. Its more "elegant" in a way, but I have a Winchester 1892 resting on my beds side, though its always unloaded, and I doubt it will be loaded, considering that due to the uniqueness of its rounds, a box of 20 costs over 100 bucks, so, Thank you very much, maybe next time. 
 
Still, I go from time to time to the firing range. Though Im 22 now, so I have legal age. Still, when I was young, I did so in a private farm, which means it was still legal, at least by my countrys laws.

Not in the slightest. I think it's very lame when people obsess over guns.

Nah, I was always interested in guns regardless.

Nope, I liked target practice and hunting before I got into video games.

My Dad was a fifteen year veteran of the Marine Corp when I was born so I brought up around guns

" Hell no.  But it does accidentally educate me about gun types even thought I don't care to know. I dread the day that I'm stuck in a bank robbery and suddenly build up the courage to say DUDE JUST PUT THE HELLER KOCH MP5 ASSAULT RIFLE WITH THE ACOG SIGHT ON THE FLOOR AND LET THESE PEOPLE GO.  Answer A. made me laugh. Heh. Blat blat. "

Certainly gave me an introduction to them, but my interest was increased due to my natural inquisitiveness. they make load noises and cool people in movies have them

Videogames have made me severely disappointed by the real damage weapons like the .50 Cal, M240, Rocket Launcher, Grenade Launcher, and Frags do in real life.

Nope, and playing D&D as a teenager didn't make me sacrifice chickens to an unholy deity, either.  I have a firm grasp on the difference between fantasy and reality.

I have fired a variety of real-life guns when I was younger (just shooting targets), but I have no interest in them, and really, unless I am killing people in a game with them, they bore the shit out of me.

Dude, FUCKING JAMES BOND increased my attraction to guns. 

Kinda, I recently went to a war museum and it was cool seen all the old WWII machine guns and being able to recognise them from games.

Yea actually, I wish I could experience of firing an rpg for real, or the ryno, or a torque bow, man that would be fun.

Yeah, totally. I really like shooting people ever since I played my first videogame.
