and the problem with the micro Uzi and the girl was more to do with her upper body strength, or lack of, and the gun's light weight than her age. The instructor should have known that and was an idiot for standing where he was and not telling her how to fire in bursts. If she really wanted to fire a machine gun, they should have provided a heavier gun mounted on a tripod or bipod.
