Got to be up there. Giving a 9 y/o girl an Uzi and she then accidently shoots you with it. AND you're a firearms instructor to boot !
9 year old girl shoots instructor dead with an Uzi.
Pitty the poor girl who will grown up thinking it's her fault even tho the numpty (and her stupid parents) should never have put her in the position. What if she'd shot herself ?
I don't think the implication was that the little girl is up for the Darwin nomination, just her instructor.
Oh... and the parents should get an honourable mention for allowing this to proceed. Air rifle perhaps, or something single-shot that doesn't have epic recoil ...effing sub-machine gun never.
Astonishing indeed. The child fires a single shot. The commentary suggests it is her first time. You then see/hear the instructor click a catch on the side of the weapon (presumably 'single shot' to 'auto'). You don't hear him say anything much nor indicate to apply pressure to the top of the weapon. The kid then fires and the images stop (you hear only the first two rounds).
It would take a few seconds to explain to the kid beforehand that the recoil effect of rapid fire causes the muzzle to rise and the weapon to pivot (seeing as the hand grip is so far back).
An oversight it would seem.
Astonishing they televised that prior to coroner's enquiry.
