The term "shooting war" is pretty descriptive. Soldiers from different nations are shooting at each other. In modern warfare, such wars would not be limited to rifles or machine guns, there would be artillery as well, and possibly many other types of weaponry. This is the final phase of a conflict, when diplomatic negotiations have failed, economic pressure has failed, and everything else has failed, and there is still an unresolved issue that people feel they cannot accept.
In terms of the usage for the cold war; cold contrasted with a "hot" war. Hot war meaning a shooting war; there was NO shooting in the cold war (other than Korea and Vietnam). Isolated incidents such as the shooting down of Gary Power's U-2 spyplane over the USSR, Castro's Lieutenant Che Gueverra and his operations in Central/South America, etc. were "incidents."
in a cold war, there is no shooting whatsoever, in a hot war, there are hot girls shooting at each other.

The Vietnam War was the second "Hot Battle" of the cold war. The communists won that war.
