I'm sure when training, she wouldn't use live rounds and used swords with blunt blades, eventually working her way up to the real thing. Obviously with how complicated her weapon is, certain steps would need to be taken before being able to use it as she does now. I'm sure not even Ruby was just given a scythe and was like "Here, swing this around for awhile." She was probably given a scythe shaped tool to practice with before getting one of her own.
