To me a "shooter" is a gun that isn't too perfect or unsafe or rare to shoot.
An example of too rare, IMO, is say a gun that has a name hammered into the damascus pattern. Could you shoot it, yes. But if you blew the barrel, the loss would be to great to the collecting community.
To shoot a 120 year old mint gun is just selfish.
To shoot an unsafe gun is just foolish.
