I'm going to be a tourist in Vegas with GF and wondering where is the best place to go (hopefully doesn't break the bank) that I can go and shoot guns in Vegas. I don't own one and would like to try out some rental machine guns and see what its like. Anyone have any recommendations ?
 
Now that you ask, lol.

I went to American Shooters. I didn't want to go to the tourist advertised store (The Gun Store). Too much tourist and I might get shot by one of those noobs. NOt something I look forward to. If you see Jesse, deal with him, he's a nice guy. I met a guy down there who was nice and let me shoot his guns.

That's where some law enforcement & team Glock practice.

You can take the bus there. It's a 5min bus ride.

Here's me posing like a kid who played too much Call of Duty

I end up spending more money than I had planned
 
Went to the gun store just so that i can try a full auto m16 and ak. Reality is the prices are absolutely retarded and you quickly realize that full auto is only fun in call of duty cause in reality you can't hit ****!

I suggest you make some friends locally and try shooting that way. Will cost you 1/10th the price and you'll enjoy it more

Gun store is expensive cuz its for tourist

Was there with 8 other guys. Great selection of guns and very knowledgable staff.

Yup, it was expensive but these guys picked us up from our resort and dropped us off. On top of that, the driver took us to an off the beaten path liquor store where we stocked up. I have pictures and video.

I went to the Gunstore 11 years ago and shot the MP5 at full auto. It climbed up and right, hard to keep it centered. Not like the movies where guys are shooting them one-handed. Shot a Ruger Super Blackhawk .44 magnum one-handed. Damn that thing kicked.

I think it's roughly $15-20 per gun. Plus a range fee of $15. Plus ammo.
30 rounds of ammo goes fast in a fully auto gun.

Should have climbed to the left, because ejection port is to the right....if my memory serves me right.
The MP5 did not kick as much. I end up with black & blue on my shoulders after the shotgun firing
 
I'd definitely love to do a comparison test between M16 and AKM in full auto. Wouldn't say no to VZ either. Other firearms that I wanna try are likely to be unavailable there (some newer, non-iconic, red rifles like the M-21 and QBZ-95). Might go a bit into our history and try the Sten.
 
I love the sound of the shells dropping on the floor... reminds me of Counter Strike!!
 
" Should have climbed to the left, because ejection port is to the right....if my memory serves me right."

The "high, to the right" happens with most hand-held machine guns/sub machine guns. The "high" comes from the handle placement on the gun. The recoil pushes the gun back - because your hand is below this force, it causes the gun to rise. If the handle was on top of the gun, recoil would push the gun down. The "to the right" comes from the right-hand twist of the rifling - the stream of bullets traveling down the barrel, causes the gun to "torque" to the right. If it was a left hand twist, the gun would climb high to the left. The action of the spent casing, leaving the ejection port, imparts negligible force on the gun.
 
Ok...yes, I went to the Gun Store and blew through about $250 in about 15 minutes. Was it lots of fun? YES, and I guess when you're in vegas you know you're already getting financially raped (at least as a guy) so what's another two-three hundred bucks!

M16 is all fine and dandy but it's all about that 50 cal desert eagle. BOOOOM! BOOOOOOM! It's like music to your ears. Feels good just having something with that much power in your hands.

Mommy says I"m special
 
Just got back from vegas and me and a few buddies went to a place in Boulder City called Pro Gun Club. Its outdoors and they have all the weapons you can find at the gun store + barrett 50 cal and a 50 cal machine gun that they can mount to a Humvee that you can shoot. We also rented golf carts and shotguns there and did "18 holes" of clay shooting which was awesome. I would highly recommend this place. the staff are very friendly and knowledgeable..worth checking out!
 
I returned from Vegas last week, did the full auto thing at Guns and Ammo Garage. G&AG had the best reviews over The Gun Store, Machine gun Vegas had some good reviews also. $180.00 for the gun (MP5) + 150 rds of 9mm, and 3 Zombie cowboy targets. Needless to say it didn't last long. Would I do it again? Yes.
