Well, that does more or less sum up how all violent video games look to the uninitiated. And it's also pretty close to how it works out, too. Yes, they do put in quite a bit more depth than that, but when you get right down to it, a lot of games with shooting are just games about killing lots of people as violently as possible. Perhaps unsurprisingly, as I haven't seen many games prominently featuring guns that did NOT involve killing people.

Well... guns ARE used to kill people... don't think people use it to scratch their heads or anything.

Correction: guns are traditionally thought of as a means to kill people.  However, some I certainly hope nobody would use to go on a killing spree.  Fortunately, no FPS has added a hot glue gun weapon yet (though I'm pretty sure Quake put in a nail gun).  The only FPS that comes to mind where the gun is not intended for combat purposes is Portal.  Only thing you "kill" in that game are ridiculously-easy-to-tip-over tripods.
