ELI5: How does shooting in video games work?

Was just playing CS:GO and was really wondering how I can shoot another player. Does the game just detect my click when it's on his face or what?

In early shooters yes it was just a click. But technology has evolved and now the bullet does have a path with many variables. Arma 3 has one of the most advance systems where the bullet not only drops, but depending on the caliber and type of round, loses velocity as it goes through an object.
