Do Touch-Screen PC's give an advantage in First Person Shooters? [duplicate]

Using touch screens with FPS
This is out of curiosity (and a desire to actually own one), but do touch screens give an advantage in FPS's? If the finger tap counts as a mouse click, does that mean the cursor immediately jumps to the location of the tap, and if so, does your aim immediately jump to that position? Or does the game need programmed to be able to handle touch-screens? Looking for people with first-hand experience.
No, simply because of how FPS games track your movement. touch in fact doesn't work with most FPS games at all, pointing with touch will instead make your view spazz out.
This happens because most FPS games are using mouse axis movement to move the camera, your mouse isn't acting as a pointer on X by Y pixels anymore, it's instead tracking movement as if it were a joystick. Movements picked up by the touch screen will result in extreme and impossible to control movements in many FPS games. You can't just touch someone to shoot them unless the game has been specifically designed for touch.
Source: I've had a multitouch/inductive pen touch screen for 6 years. No FPS game has ever worked except for certain flash games which don't use the axis movement like "real" FPS games. Stuff like Half Life, Counter Strike ect all exhibit the "spazz" movements when given touch events.
