While becoming an expert in "all" NATO and Warsaw Pact small arms might be a little daunting, the Army at least has courses that teach people the use and maintenance of foreign weapons, and you don't have to be special ops to go to some of them.
But really, a good marksman is a good marksman. Aside from "zeroing" the weapons in question and familiarizing oneself with whatever sights are on it, it probably wouldn't be too terribly tough to qualify "expert" on most weapons without -too- much intensive training. "Expert" doesn't mean (at least in the Army) that you're some uber-sniper or whatnot. It's just shooting a predetermined number of pop-up targets in a limited time span on a range (for rifles) or getting enough shots near the center of a standing target (for pistols).
