Find a gun that's as light as an XBOX controller, require's you to use two joysticks to move it around, and has two triggers, one which shoots bullets, the other grenades, and maybe you'll be proficient.

Yeah, but at the same time if I train myself to hold the controller perfectly still while I'm playing, and I only take the shots when I know I can make them, all of a sudden I'm more proficient with a real weapon. This actually happened with me. I became a better shooter by using the sniper rifle in whatever game more often.
Edit: I forgot to reply to the original post.
Yes, some people are naturals. I'm usually somewhere between moderately good and excellent at a game when I start. First time I ever played CS was at a LAN party; within about 15 minutes, I had the best stats in the room. Same with Unreal Tournament. I very seldom play any more at all, let alone "seriously," and I can still do very well when I do play, so I must conclude that there's at least a certain level of talent there.
Otherwise it may just be that I play smarter than everyone, though I sincerely doubt that because generally speaking my tactics revolve around the basic idea "run at the guy and shoot him in the face."
