In 'A Christmas Story', there isn't really a traditional 'shooter' in a criminal sense. However, if you are referring to the BB gun that Ralphie wants, he could be seen as the 'shooter' when he finally gets to use it. Ralphie dreams of getting a Red Ryder BB gun for Christmas and once he does, he has some shooting adventures with it.
The'shooter' in 'A Christmas Story', which is Ralphie with his BB gun, has a lot of fun - or at least tries to. He dreams of using the gun for all kinds of adventures. Once he has it, he is likely to shoot at things like the snow or any small objects he can find in his yard. He also probably imagines himself as a hero from the Westerns he loves, while using his BB gun. And of course, he has to be careful not to actually shoot his eye out, as his mother constantly warns him.
I would say 'Metro Exodus'. The story is set in a post - apocalyptic Russia. You follow Artyom as he travels across the desolate landscape on a train. It has a great mix of survival elements and a deep narrative about hope and humanity. 'Wolfenstein' series is also worth mentioning. It has a great story of fighting against Nazis in an alternate history. You play as BJ Blazkowicz and go on a rampage against the evil regime. 'Far Cry' series, especially games like 'Far Cry 3' and 'Far Cry 4', have engaging stories. You are in a tropical or mountainous setting respectively, fighting against tyrants and their minions.
Most likely not. Usually, such stories are either pure imagination or based on very loose inspirations that have been exaggerated and fictionalized to make them more interesting.
I don't think it is. Usually, such names suggest fictional works rather than being based on real events. It could be part of a made-up story or a fictional world.
