While all weapons discussed above can inflict deadly force, we've got apples and oranges. The weapon in the accident was a micro uzi. This weapon is more inclined to "climb" when in fully automatic mode. An eight YO with the short stock, not in "firing position", could easily have lost control and had his finger freeze on the trigger, IMO. Tests showing the climb or spray from increasing distances magnify the effect of recoil with such a weapon fired in extended automatic mode. The weapon was designed for close action, such as clearing bunkers, in the hands of "elite" forces.... A totally different animal from a single shot .22 on a range with the BSA....
