Avoid anything that does not fit them. Give a small-framed person a full-sized shotgun or a pistol too large for their hands and the recoil will punish them, and nothing will be fun.
Guns are like shoes, they gotta fit.
.22s are best to start.

Stick to small calibres like 22lr or 9mm. Try to stay away from semi auto guns at first if you can; shooting faster isn't usually any more rewarding than shooting slower and bullets ain't cheap! "Medium" weight guns are nice; light guns have more recoil and if it is too heavy you can't hold it up long enough to take good shots. Make sure you try rifles and pistols, many people like pistols but honestly they aren't very accurate (or rather humans aren't typically very accurate with them). If they have a lever or a pump gun give it a try...so satisfying
