Considering the conditions of the weapons I have seen at other ranges down there, I would not be surprised if the grip safety was not functioning properly. These guns get a lot of use and wear and tear, with local repairs done on them all the time. My friend went to this range and had ball firing a full auto M16 and M240. I have been to the other ranges down there and enjoyed myself.
Frankly for a 9 year old kid a bipod MG would have been a better choice. There are lots and lots of adults I would not give a SMG to, full auto or semi. I been teaching my 9 year old to shoot, but only with a custom 10/22, she has been shooting since 6. I would not take my youngest who is 6 to the range as she does not listen and is to impulsive. I also recommend have another adult run your kid through the first time shooting. As a shooting parent you get a tad to excited about their first time and they will listen more to another adult.
Actually I came here to whine about doing my mid-year EPM's, when it's required to have statements like "Excellence through Results" you know it's all bullshit.
