Wouldn't necessarily break it's arm as that's usually from holding a gun TOO firmly - the kick would just have sent it flying out of the toddler's hand if it wasn't holding on tightly.

HOWEVER - I personally would say that you're right, normally a two year old would definitely NOT have the grip strength to pull a trigger. Which makes this whole scenario seem a bit "off". By design, a trigger needs quite firm, deliberate pressure to be applied to fire the gun, specifically so that they DON'T go off accidentally.

I guess it's possible if the infant somehow got its entire fist around the trigger. Or maybe there was something wrong with the gun. Definitely couldn't have pulled the trigger with a finger.
