re: Teach a 9 year old to use a sub-machine gun and you get what you deserve?

I fired an HK5 on 3 rd burst for the first time in my 20s (with no real training, granted) and was.shocked at how unwieldy it was. I can see how it could go out of control if someone isn't used to firearms, has a small frame, and doesn't have the hard shut off of 3rounds.
Saying the guy deserved to die is pretty shitty but I do question his expertise if he thought this was safe.

I agree. It's like thinking you can teach an 8 year old to drive a manual transmission car. You're asking for trouble.

No one's arguing that it may not be the wisest thing, but it 'a not THAT outrageous in a controlled environment. I'd bet there is a lot more young kids out there firing these weapons all the time and you don't hear of any incidents. Accidents with firearms happen. Negligence certainly is often a big contributor.
Rex's comment is disgusting, inexcusable, and like most of his comments, comes from ignorance.

This this this. That is an awful lot of recoil to control at any age/ability and if there is no hard shut potentially very dangerous to the shooter and anyone in proximity. I don't plan on watching thevideo but from the preview still the instructor seems to be right next to/over her shoulder. II'm not sure how much assistance he's offering but he assumes a lot of risk being in that proximity.
