I think you may have misordered that sentence.

If the training is for sport/competition shooting then they're not going to be able to bring too much. Sure they'll know proper form for competing, but battle is different, and besides being an unusual design, the Liberator had pretty lousy sights, since it was not originally meant for US military, police, or high end public sales.

The names of the game were simple, cheap, and mean. If it had actually been supplied to arm insurgencies, as was intended, the fighting was expected to be close and brutal. Besides, give enough desparate farmers shotguns and point them at government forces, and they're going to kill some "oppressors."

A trained soldier who's had experience in applicable terrain, such as house to house urban warfare, would be abe to better use a Liberator, since they actually have combat experience, and the Liberator is a weapon I would only recommend for combat. That or maybe a bear stopper. A soldier will be better about staying calm under fire, staying alert for enemy activity and traps, and generally having better tactical awarness.
