Morphology

shooty = shoot (transparent) = shoot + y

An informal adjective formed by adding the productive suffix '-y' to 'shoot', meaning 'characterized by shooting', which is directly inferable.

Etymology

Shooty comes from the verb shoot, which means 'to fire' or 'send out', plus the ending -y meaning 'full of' or 'having'. So shooty describes something 'full of shooting', like a movie or game with many gunfights.
