why is it that when you see pictures of child soldiers they often have ak pattern rifles. aren't these a little large and unwieldy for a child. And many of the variants the child soldiers use are 7.62 which seems like far too big of a caliber for children to use. wouldn't it make more sense to equip them with submachine guns that they would be able to operate better?
what would /k/ equip its child army with.
Mp7's or EVO's because both look so sexy, actually can I just have them and not the child army? I'd much prefer that option.

African gentlemen don't aim anyway, it's not like it matters a whole lot
It gets them used to handling large weapons, once puberty kicks in they'll be wielding M240s and PKMs like no big deal. Modern day Guts

It's doesn't matter how heavy the rifle is when your combat load is literally 10lbs. Also when no one is aiming anyway it doesn't matter most kills are crew served weapon systems and machetes. The day of army's trained by the west with FALs delivering accurate fire are long past in the dark continent
Cus it all they got nigga
Because some shit hole third world country that even has to HAVE children soldiers probably isn't going to spend more money to find them suitable weapons.
My 10 year old sister has shot my AK and she had no problems, it's really not that violent of a cartridge, but I would have my child soldiers probably shoot 223, maybe 556 if they were a boy or 13+

AK's is all they've got, also, a kid can easily shoot an AK prone, which is pretty much the ideal position to be anyway during a firefight.

Train them to use mounted MG's to defend your warlord palace.
I was thinking of similar stuff recently. I have a friend who's about 5ft 2in or something. She could probably hold a P32 as if it was a full size. Rifle wise she'd need a youth stock 10/22

Good point OP. I'll make sure my child soldiers are armed with only the best skeletized ARs on the market. Ounces make pounds, and pounds lose bush wars.

M1 Carbines seem like a good gun for kids
>>34093671
Well you still run into issues of the ammo weight. As a warlord you need to see all the problems with your child soldier. I suggest a lighter round with carbines if possible.

Fighting effectively is not the same as living the life. It don't matter how powerful the gun is to a child when even the adults can't even aim for fallowups.
a smaller AK

Gee I dunno, maybe because its the most prevalent gun on earth and its >50% of the guns in 3rd world countries?
