The US Army didn't train it's snipers in WW2 either.

The M1909 Benet-MerciƩ Automatic Rifle was not a terrible gun. As the Hotckiss Mk.1 LMG it was used successfully by British, Australian, and New Zealand mounted units in Sinai and Palestine in WW1. The M1909 was maligned in press reports of the Battle of Columbus (1916). And what problems it did have were due to inadequate training of the troops.
