While my 12-year-old can disassemble and reassemble my PPX blindfolded, including clearing and loading the
clip (
) magazine, it's not out of fear of the world, it's out of respect for the weapon. Along with that, it's a tactile dexterity "memory" exercise. He was able to do this before he ever took his first shot with it. Plus, in the GloryDayz house, if you want to handle/shoot it, you will know "it" first.
If you just want to know what it feels like to shoot a pistol/rifle, go **** yourself..
