I can't see from the picture. Do you close the bag with a zipper or is it snap buttons?

The top of the bag has a sturdy zipper and the side compartment closes with snaps. I don't carry much in the side compartment, but the bag itself holds almost every small type of tool you can use on jobs, screwdrives, plyers, wrenches, multiple racks of sockets, extensions, etc. It's a great bag and has been a great purchase. Hope this helps, all the best to you ....

can it be used as a shooting bag

Absolutely! It is big enough to fit more than a few boxes of rounds in the bag. I wouldn't use it as a long term Ammo storage bag. But for heading to the range as long as you are out shooting rifle or hand gun rounds you will be set. I wouldn't fully recommend for shotgun shells. You could maybe fit 50 shotgun shells. But for a range bag would be great.

Is the only difference between this and the "G.I. Type Brass Zippered Mechanics Tool Bag" the brass zipper? Or are there other differences?

No idea about the black. I have the brown-which has nylon teeth for the zipper and a silver colored metal pull tab. Inside it has several inside straps for securing tools sewn on both sides and two large snap pockets on the outside. Seems pretty strong and well made. I am using it as a purse/handbag though not as a tool kit. Hope this helps?
