This is the shocking moment a young Kurdish girl fires a machine gun at ISIS, before boasting she has killed 400 of the Islamic militants - as she is egged on with cries of 'kill, kill'. The little girl, who appears to be around six or seven, is shown sitting on a ridge in her bright pink jumper and trainers, just behind the large machine gun. She chats away to a man behind the camera, telling him she is 'shooting at Daesh' in Kurdish - before firing several rounds into the desert. Shocking: The little girl claims she is firing the machine gun at 'Daesh', the Arabic name for ISIS . Kill: She tells the man she has killed 400 of the extremists so far, as he encourages her to kill more . Target: However, it is unclear exactly what the girl is shooting at in the minute-long video . The man asks her how many ISIS fighters she has killed so far, and she holds up four fingers while boasting '400'. As she fires the gun, and, according to Vocativ.com, he says: 'Kill, kill.' However, whether she has actually hit anything is unclear. The video - entitled Young YPG Girl Shoots PK Machine Gun - was posted in January, but has only recently emerged on social networks. YPG is the acronym for the People's Protection Unit, which has been battling ISIS since the extremists rise to power last year. But while ISIS are known for using young recruits to carry out executions, fight and even become suicide bombers, the Kurds have so far kept their children out of the battle. Propaganda: ISIS are known to use children in videos like this one, where they are being trained as fighters . Sickening: In more horrific videos, ISIS have claimed to be using children as executioners . Feared: The Kurdish are famous for their female fighters, who have been key to driving ISIS out . Rumours: ISIS fighters believe if they are killed by a woman they won't get their virgins in the afterlife . One of the most horrifying videos released by the Islamists showed a young boy seeming to execute a so-called spy. They have also released a video of dozens of 'child soldiers' from Kazakhstan, apparently being trained to fight against ISIS enemies. Instead, they are famous for their female recruits: it has proved to be one of their strengths against the militants, as they appear to believe if they are killed by a woman they will not be rewarded with 72 virgins in the afterlife. As a result ISIS fighters have been reluctant to enter battles with the Women's Protection Units, or YPJ, reportedly leading to descent within the ranks of the terrorists and hastening their retreat from battles in places like Kobane.
