That kid was shooting there all day. At one point he was shooting next to me. All day there was a range officer near him and not once did that kid violate any safty rules. Note that with the P90 his parent has control of the weapon.
Personally though I think it's irresponsible to let children fire fully automatic weapons. Those things can be hard to control if you don't know what your doing.

I let a young boy (At most 10-11 years old) shoot the last couple rounds I had for the AK74 I rented on my 18th birthday, and he handled firing on full auto like a champ

In this case it was the son of one of the vendors and it's not the kids first experiance with automatic weapons. Frankly the kid is really well trained for his age. I've watched the kid put 19 rounds through a Barret M99.
