Some people definately have a knack for the mental coordination that fast-paced video games require. I haven't seen anyone that's so naturally good that he can immediately show up and consistently defeat people who are far more familiar with the workings of any one game, but I can easily imagine it happening in a more laid-back gaming environment than the ones I usually play in.
As a side note, I'd probably have an easier time pulling the trigger in a combat situation after having capped tens of thousands of virtual zombies and nazis and terrorists and such. It wouldn't surprise me if the armed forces started finding out that children of the post-DOOM era required less...resocialization...to get them to actually fire a gun at someone.
