This is always an interesting discussion. To many purists, any numbered part replaced is automatic shooter status.

That is not how I believe, I agree with Leon, major parts yes, other parts such as normal field replacement by a soldiers unit, no.

Controversial, yes.

It is interesting, just this last week I had this same conversation with a very well known and respected gentleman that stated the same thing, that a firing pin replacement did not make it a shooter to him.
