^ I agree that it doesn't feel forced, however, while Derek was certainly better than the avg. person, we have no idea how quickly he "learned" or adapted. "Mastered" seems a little extreme; Derek is profient, no doubt, but we can hardly assume he mastered firearms.

The passage of time is unknown. Braeden could have spent weeks teaching Derek or he learned quickly in a short amount of time. We don't know.
