In Switzerland there is an auto assault rifle in every home which was one reason the Nazis decided to skip invading those guys. When one Swiss citizen was asked after the war whether he was worried about being invaded by four million Wehrmacht he replied that since there were two million Swiss he’d only have to shoot twice and then go home.
Kind of mixed up a bunch of different stuff.
While they had guns, during and precessing WW-II, the Swiss, like everyone else, were equipped with bolt action rifles. (Some US units had begun to get the semiautomatic Garand, but many of the units in the Pacific had not yet received them when they went in to battle with the Japanese). The Swiss militia/reserve army, is now equiped with fully automatic weapons. The second generation of them in fact, the 7.62 battle rifles having been replaced by 5.56 assault rifles (Real ones!).
The "Shoot Twice and Go Home", remark was reportedly made by a Swiss militiaman directly to the Kaiser, shortly *before* WW-I. At least according to Stephen Halbrook it went something like this.
Shortly before World War I, the German Kaiser was the guest of the Swiss government to observe military maneuvers. The Kaiser asked a Swiss militiaman: "You are 500,000 and you shoot well, but if we attack with 1,000,000 men what will you do?" The soldier replied: "We will shoot twice and go home."
