Well you can say, it but they'll have to kill him to take his backpack out. And thus fire the guns or get in the range of his melee. So it won't be as easy XD. Besides he's cackling like a madman. He's playing the intimidation game so hard and betting his life on it because he knows that anyone who deludes itself into thinking a 10 year old can save people and enlighten them doesn't have much willpower on itself to stand up on their own.
