In my humble opinion, a "shooter" (meaning the gun itself) is a gun which has been shot for game or score for enjoyment, not to include for regulation at the factory, and which may or may not continue to be carried and shot today - that being left to the discretion of the current custodian.
My own definition of the term "unfired" is a gun which is in "as new condition" and which shows no evidence of having been fired since leaving the factory where certainly all guns have been fired as an integral part of the manufacturing process in regulating shot count per the standard of customer's order or the order of the superintendant of the factory.
Collectible? Any gun can be termed "collectible" if it fits a particular niche in a gunroom.
