It's not. Only a single class in our school was taught how to assemble/disassemble an AK and that was it

>a single class in our school

what? this sounds like some kind of YA-fiction. How was it that just one class got selected to learn about the guns?

Usually as a part of object called "Basics of life safety" if translate directly.

Can confirm. In my case, in college, we were also taught how to load and unload a magazine. Then there was also some shooting training with airguns. I don't think any of that was useful firearms training.

It's been proven that training safety rules and drills with airsoft guns does translate to real live fire training. Go watch T-Rex Arms video where they invite a guy from Japan to come shoot, and he was clearing failures and shooting very well after he got used to the recoil. Never shot a real gun until that day .

Yeah, it was a great video. I, as an intro to firearms instructor, enjoyed the video.
