Most games are first-person shooters, with weapons ranging from simple handguns to machine guns, flame throwers and even grenade launchers. Some games are set in war situations or covert operations, while others simulate deer hunting or other shooting sports, that allow players to feel the rush of hunting prey without actually harming any animals or human beings.

Two quality sites to check out for free shooters are AddictingGames.com and Shockwave.com. Both have a wide variety of shooting games to choose from, but note that you will need Adobe Shockwave to use the latter.
