No, none of that is true, though conscription means that the majority of males get military training and service, with the opportunity to buy their service weapon at the end of service.
What I found when living there, is that the Swiss believe in expertise at what they do, and extensive training, so I'd bet that good shooting skills are common in the sport's participants there.
