Why is shooting a gun any more "shooting" than shooting a camera?
The gun reference is well embedded in photography. Photo shoot, canon cameras, trigger etc
You point it at a target and press a button, a lot like shooting IMO

Because it's such an obvious affectation every time you read/hear it.
In English you say take. In the same way you say make in other languages.
