For both you and hyporational, which countries are you talking about?

Finland. Please don't scheme to invade us or we'll mop you to submission.

I was exaggerating a bit. What I mean there was no hope of becoming any good with the minimal training. I have fired and know how to handle a pistol, an assault rifle, a machine gun, a shotgun, a sniper rifle, a bazooka, an antiaircraft gun and have thrown a live grenade once. Can't really hit anything with them...

I'm not sure if the lack of training was because of pinching pennies on ammo, but I wouldn't be surprised because of all the other kinds of nonsense. We had an abundance of mops, though.

American Air Force is the same.
