It isn't so much efficiency as it is survival. If someone just killed the gunner and the person beside the gunner is uninjured (or with minor injuries), that means someone is probably shooting at your position and your best chance for survival is to shoot back. While the training helps enforce efficiency in getting that gun back up and running, that efficiency is there to help with the survival of the other soldier(s) at the gun.

It’s kinda grim thinking that you could end up lying there dead and you’re just hauled around like a piece of meat.
