Wow letting an 8 year old kid shoot anything like that is stupid. I don't know how many of you have fired an uzi, but unlike the movies, on full auto the barrel tends to rise and kick to the right in a strong adults hands, let alone an 8 year old kid. Basically the first round or 2 might hit target but after that your punching holes in the sky.

Incredibly bad judgement by the father and the instructor.
