That's what happens in a unit with an ammo consumption that is unbelievable to even military logisticians. They also don't ever practice missing, as that sends you out of the unit. The Commander has to be able to look the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs or President himself in the eye, and say that his people WILL put a bullet in the face of bad guys, and not any friendlies. It may sound cliche, but they train to that standard, and any deviation from it is a ticket out, so much so that the foreign unit they were modeled off of looks to them now as an example of marksmanship proficiency, training, and execution.
If anyone cares to look up Viking Tactics and their training schedule, I would highly recommend taking any of their courses that you're eligible for.

If you get a chance to attend one of Kyle's courses, you will walk away with more practical information on shooting than you would normally accumulate in a lifetime, and he is a very down-to-earth teacher with uncommon saturation of experience. I just enjoy watching him shoot, because you just see targets becoming lead magnets faster than you would have previously thought possible. He also has some excellent products, especially the VTAC sling and his light mounts.
