    Quoted from fxdwg:

    I grew up playing pinball on pinball machines. they are not tables. jeebus that term drives me crazy. also, please stop using the term "shooter" guns shoot, pinball machines do not shoot. they are not great shooters... great shooters shoot in gun competitions... lol
    and yes this is simply my own opinion, and I really don't care what other people call them. its all in good fun.

    Harry Williams referred to them as tables in a taped interview.

    I prefer pinball machines or just pins.
