Quite right Ed, 1930s German Police firearms training was more in line with military training at the time and was marksmanship based. Sight picture, trigger control, breath control, etc. all designed to accurately put rounds on paper targets. Tactics were taught seperately then but they have changed significantly over the years.
None the less, these small caliber units are fun to shoot. I have a .22 caliber conversion kit for my US M1911a .45 pistol as well as having a pre-war Colt Ace in .22 caliber. I love to shoot these since they have the floating chamber and are easy to switch out and clean. I don't know how the German Police firearm instructors felt about the little 4mm single shot conversion kits but they do seem to be a lot of trouble to me.
