the carbon 15 rifles are NOT something you want to spend your money on. If you do a search on carbon 15 on here you'll find a thread that discussed the issues with them.

I would avoid any of the "carbon" rifles. And by avoid, I mean run screaming from like it's trying to rape me with a burning sword.

Try an MSAR STG 5.56 (Steyr AUG). Well balanced and low recoil. I had a Carbon 15 and found it was too light which tends to increase perceived recoil.

Not trying to be facetious but she should either stick with a handgun or do a little upper body training. You aren't going to find many carbines/ rifles out on the market that are worth a crap that are feather light.
