It is a game, played in first person, and you can shoot things. It's a FIRST PERSON SHOOTER.
...and if you're definition is continent on using a gun, see the image above. One simple mod and I'm mowing down Alduin with a golden AK.

Good try though.

Well gee, f#%$ you very much for the compliment. ...condescending prick...

Its not being condescending. It's correcting an assumption that was wrongfully made. Rather than take it to the heart, just dont assume without some kind of evidence that is valid.

Key word. "Mod" if it isnt part of the original game it isnt what you base your assumption on. If you are also going to use the "you can shoot bows" as an arguement for a fps then by that same logic, we can take Jak and daxter and say because you can ads and shoot yellow eco, is now a fps. Clearly the game is not. A fps is a game that revolves around playing in first person while shootinging things. Skyrim may revolve around the first person point of view but does not revolve around shooting. You can play the entire game and hit almost max level with out evee shooting a bow.
-
Hence the technicality. If you are in first person and shoot any thing be it a gun or a magic stick spewing fire, you are playing an FPS. The only reason why games like Skyrim aren't FPS's, and the only reason you should cite in any legitimate debate, is because the developer says it's not. That's the long and short of any genre identity for a game. The reason I mention the mod is because most gun mods to Skyrim are adding little more than a 1 MB retexture of existing assets. Everything else is already there, which demonstrates the distinction is contingent on something miniscule and possibly arbitrary.
