While I think this statement is 100% correct, it contradicts your statement about only taking a short time to get military personnel to Guns (Rifle)-12.

I think it's probably accurate to say that it takes a short time to get military personnel to Guns Sport (Rifle)-12, which is a combat skill of DX-1, or Guns-9. That's more consistent with observed results.

The requirements to get to Guns-12 in combat situations are much higher, and require intensive and realistic training only given to the real shooters.
