google is hard

dude, don't act all high and mighty when you google'd this yourself and 'copy paste' it here since you weren't sure what the definition is.

just showing how easy it is to find for anyone and everyone who has questions as to what skill means.

even an idiot like me who hasnt put two thoughts together about it untill now can go look it up on google and now i am fairly certain i have quite an accurate grasp of the concept

your just mad that i killed your thread with the actual definition of skill thereby ruining any posability for debate :P

I don't want the dictionary definition. I want to know why this guy says x takes a ton of skill, while this guy says x is the current FotM.

What, in your mind, is skill? I can google words too, but I want your definition.

"AR takes skill!" "It's a skill-less weapon" "MD requires you to lead targets and find tactical positions" "MD doesn't require any skill because it's a splash weapon for scrubs" Every gun has this argument about skill surrounding them, so I'm looking for someone to tell me what skill actually is. I mean, you knew when you posted this that it wasn't going to get anywhere, right? The funny thing is that they more of a trash heap this thread turns into, the more it proves what the problem with "skill" is. Nobody has the same definition.

I think we're seeing so far that no one is even going to bother, because most of the people in this thread are already on-board with your point.
