johnny boy68 11,726 Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 Can't drink in america until your 21 but can shoot a fully automatic weapon at 9.........its crazy mun. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Born Hunter 17,818 Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 In principle I see no wrong in letting a 9 yr old shoot live ammunition........ but an uzi on full auto? Really? A 9mm has a nice amount of recoil for the average adult, manageable and comfortable, to a nine year old it must feel like shooting a .45! Never mind full auto. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
marky b 309 Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 I actually shot on that range last year we was laughing over what health and safety would make of it the guns kept jamming and as the instructor was trying to sort them out he was pointing them at a crowd of tourists everybody was diving out the way he got a bollicking of his boss for it he should of been sacked imo Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dare 1,103 Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 Bet it's gonna take alot of doing to convince a 9 year old shes not to blame. Would have thought it'll mess her head right up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

beast 1,884 Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 the video was on the news, stopped it just before the guy got shot. he was standing just to the left of the muzzle, as the girl was shooting. why the feck he wasnt behind her while he was teaching is a mystery to me, he was in just about the most dangerous place he could have been. while i would never say somebody deserved something like that to happen, a man supposedly "instructing" but showing such idiocy was always an accident waiting to happen. poor girl. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

stripes 401 Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 The mind boggles a 9 year old child with a uzi,god help her, the image of that will haunt her, and she should of never been in that scenario in the first place. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I don't know if it was the same instructor but Like I said earlier he was an accident waiting to happen Quote Link to post Share on other sites
