One reason people keep mentioning in this thread that they started out with a .22 is because it would be stupid to give a child anything bigger because they're going to hurt themselves just shooting the damned thing, not because they are going to do less damage to whatever they hit with a .22.

There is definitely a darwin award for the instructor for putting a mac10/uzi whatever it is in the hands of a kid.

That kid shouldn't be handling a drill or a saw, let alone a firearm.

Sorry, I wasn't clear. I don't condone or agree with a child handling a weapon like that. In fact, I think I have been pretty clear in my support of gun control.

That being said it is obvious that this is the first time, or near first time this kids has put her hands on the weapon. She has no idea of a firing stance (he has to adjust her). Had she had "dry" training with the weapon she would not have needed that much correction.
