Yeah, still pretty good for a 11 year old.

Lets see her do that with a real mans weapon, like an M1 Garand!

Would probably require a little more upper body strength.  I recall the spring on the Garand to be killer....sometimes shooting across the room.
The fight is the fun........Don't run from the fun!

Belch , completely disgusting.


I totally agree. Anyone who would teach their child that has some serious issues. She should be out being a kid in the tire swing or something. Not learning how to put together an assault rifle! What's wrong with you guys man? I'm all for gun rights but guns don't belong in the hands of children.

I find very strange for an male adult to be fascinated by a not nubile girl.

With close adult supervision, why not? What is a better time to learn about guns and gun safety than from one's parents?

a .22 or a 410 is one thing but I think a AR-15 is a wee bit over the top. The girl is 11yrs old.

I started teaching my kids when they were 8-9 years old. They've handled, cleaned and fired almost every weapon I own. The only ones they haven't fired are my large bore hunting rifles, 30-06, .308, 7mm. My daughter was 9 the first time she fired my AR-15. My son was 10 when he asked if he could try my 12 gauge.

I've raised my kids around guns, I've NEVER told them they couldn't hold them, or look at them, as long as I am there with them. They know that they are NOT to touch them if I'm not there.

There is NOTHING wrong with teaching a child about guns. In fact it's the most responsible thing you can do if you own guns and have kids. Teach them young, and teach them right and then you wont have to worry about accidents, they wont be curious about them and go sneaking into you guns when your not looking.

Exactly the right thing to do. for exactly the right reasons IMO.
And I dont even own a gun.

And it's a solid bet none of your kids will end up on the nightly news for accidentaly killing a friend when they found Dad's guns.

Well her dad probably is a Marine or something. My son can break down my AR-15 like that. He asked me how I learned to do it so fast and I told him I learned in the Army. He asked me to teach him, so I did and he's pretty darn quick now. I haven't gotten him to try it blind folded yet, but one of these days I'll hit him with it. I had to do it blind, so will he. 1 minute to disassemble and 2 minutes to put it back together. It's been so long since I did it I would probably have a hard time with it so I need to practice :D

Hell, I can barely hold up for the garand.  But field stripping it is fun.



Still, my favorite to do is the 1911.
