But seriously, what is involved in using a firearm that usually takes 4 months to learn? That's a long time for what seems to be a straight forward thing.
I think the RCMP spread the firearms training out over that period of time. I don't think they are doing firearms training everyday. But it allows the officer more time to practice in their own time and they aren't stuck shooting off thousands of rounds in 8 days. I like shooting but even for me that is a lot of shooting in a 1 week period.

Not to mention , I bet a lot of these people have never handled a firearm before so they send someone to training and expect them to be experts in 8 days. They need to have the training over a longer period of time. IMO
