Lol, you should enter that one on the 100 things I had learn from watching the 5th wave. Also call C.S.

The type rifle being used has almost no kick and weighs less than 10 lbs. I have seen children trained to shoot them. For example in Afrika there are allot of child soldiers and they use the heavier and more powerful round firing AK47.
