Well, Bonnie Parker (of Bonnie & Clyde) was under 5ft tall and a sawed-off BAR was her weapon of choice. This weapon, stolen from an armory Clyde raided, weighed 18.5 pounds unloaded, and with loaded 20 round magazine it weighed over 25 pounds, nearly a third of Bonnie's weight. And she fired it full auto!

Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done, had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908, whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defended me, I told him that it was his duty to defend me even by using violence." - Mahatma Ghandi
