I've known plenty of girls that age who are able to fire shotguns. Have you ever fired a shotgun? They have very little kick. That's why even kids can shoot them.

I've shot a 20 gauge shotgun and a 12 gauge shotgun. The 20 gauge didn't have much kick at all, and I could imagine an 11 year old girl being able to shoot one. It's generally what's recommended for younger kids in skeet tournaments.

However, the 12 gauge had a pretty wicked kick, and I know how to hold and fire a gun. Perhaps it's possible for an 11 year old girl to shoot one, but I'd really have to see it to believe it.

The whole story in it's entireity is just.. eh.

The story may be fake, but a 12 gauge has very little kick at all. I have a scar from a rifle that had kick, lol.

Perhaps it depends on whatever you're comparing it to. I mean, I'm sure there are plenty of guns that have more kick than a 12 gauge shotgun, but I can say from personal experience, at least compared to anything I've ever shot, 12 gauge shotguns have a pretty big kick.
