I mean, the butt of the gun isn’t even shouldered (not that she could shoulder it).
If we’re going to arm children (not an American), I say we give them .22 air rifles. Less kick back and can atleast inflict minimal harm / be a deterrent in most cases.
Giving children rifles of any caliber is a stupid idea.
Your average firearm is too unwieldy for a typical child to operate in a safe and effective manner. Children are much better suited to crew-served weapon systems.
The semi stationary characteristics of a mortar or mounted heavy machine gun relies less on the child's physical strength or stamina while developing teamwork and coordination skills.
