I have taught a few folk to shoot over the years. Generally I will show them the various parts of the weapon, show them the ammo and explain how it all works. Then I might shoot it a time or two to let them get accustomed to the noise and see, if applicable, the kick.
Overall, I do not want them surprised by the weapon in operation. I want them to know with reasonable assurance what should happen and in what order. I want them to know when/if something has gone wrong and they need to alert me or someone else with greater knowledge than they.
I want them to understand the weapon before they attempt to use or operate the weapon. Nothing about about how I taught those folk was remarkable. Few, if any, weapons specialists in the world would suggest that you use weapons you do not understand. Imagine you are a WWII bomber pilot early in the war. You could have dropped thousand pounds bombs from a low level bombing run and been perfectly fine. If you tried that same procedure with the same distances but you dropped a nuke instead, you just made your last screwup. You used a weapon you did not understand.
That is the attitude I bring to the table with my support for Anthropic and their reluctance to give Piss Drunk Pete their trust and permission to use Claude AI however they wish. I rather doubt Kegseth understands the AI any better than I do. For now, it needs moral human supervision and morality is in short supply with this (mis)administration.
If you were to hand a caveman a machine gun, what do you think would happen? We may not have to wait very long for a demonstration.
