I don't know, I haven't fired either, but I have fired a lot of rounds
from my 43oz 9mm auto, and I would expect even a "mini-uzi" would be
heavier than a handgun.

I fired my first automatic weapon at the age of 8 - fortunately with blanks.
Circumstances are irrelevant.
I fired an automatic for the second time just a few years ago - a 9mm Uzi.
I am shall we say sizeable and strong. Yet I had difficulty keeping tight
groups in the auto mode with bursts of more than 4 rounds. Thus I am not
surprised that and 8 year old could not control the recoil.

I am surprised at a emergency physician letting this happen to his son while
(I am told) taking photos.

Guns do not kill people. Idiots do.
