The military uses FPS to teach squad maneuver and tactical thinking. The Army tankers use modified golf carts to practice field maneuvers for the tanks. The carts are wrapped up and the driver can only see through a periscope, just like with a buttoned-up tank. This isn't good for a live fire exercise but it's a lot cheaper than driving around the real deal. It lets them reserve tank time for the really important stuff.
I've fired guns and I've played shooters. Ain't no relation between one and the other. You might have a slightly better case when comparing a light gun game with real-life shooting but there's still a hell of a difference between the two, like comparing a realistic racing game vs. driving in the Indy 500.
