Vegas Machine Gun Experience

I was here back in December 2015, took my boy so he could shoot Machine Guns!
” Little John” was the man who helped us out and he was a awesome guide.
My son shoots hunting rifles but never a machine gun. He had one of the best experiences, Thank you Little John.

This place is fun and the staff absolutely amazing! They provide a free shuttle pick up and drop off from your hotel. Colby was our driver and I think he may be the nicest person we have met since being in in the USA. He was chatty on the way there and the way home and answered questions about Vegas and some other random questions too. The vehicle was clean and had quite a few seats.
When at the range, there are so many guys for sale on the back wall and in the cabinets, it was rather impressive.
Oh btw, there is a designated Unilocal (& other social media) check in matt. It was cool but unfortunately there was no wi fi for me to check in :(
There are several packages to choose from and a range of guns to try. There is also a range of targets to choose from, including zombies, hostage situations, bottles and ducks and others.
Gratitude is not expected but encouraged for staff.
This was an awesome experience and the staff made it even better. What an awesome way to spend our last day in Vegas.
Thank you so much to the staff for making us feel so welcome!

Looked at the Unilocal reviews when deciding where to spend my dollars and saw other people had a good experience here, and happy to say we did too!
Arranged for a free shuttle pick-​up from our hotel. Colby was our driver and he was welcoming, cheerful and chatted to us all the way to the range. Great first impression!
Bought ‘The Nines’ package, and used a coupon from ²⁴⁄₇ mag for an extra magazine of ammo. Reasonable value, in my opinion, when considered on a number of rounds-​per-​dollar basis, used across a handgun and two sub-​machine guns. Oh and they have some fun targets to choose from too.
Range staff were friendly and helpful. I forget the range officer’s name (sorry!) but he was confident, informed and really friendly. Happy to take some photos too.
Burned through all the ammo for the three firearms in about 15 minutes, but that’s machine guns for you!
All in all, a great experience.

My partner and I have talked about doing this for sometime and finally got ‘er done. VERY glad we did.
They picked us up from a nearby casino and took us to the range (see also «Discount Firearms & Ammo) where they had a large selection of weapons. We each did the $ 70 «one and done» deal with an AK-​47 and M-​4 and added an additional clip each for $ 15 so it was $ 85×2.
Instructor «Little John» was great. He made us feel welcome and comfortable. Nobody was a gun snob and they didn’t mind answering my many questions. Besides the basics of safety and gun operation he covered some of the strategies that are used to improve accuracy.
It was great fun to see what it’s like and a bit sobering to think about those who wield these weapons as their tools. Two clips is enough to realize that it would take a LOT of practice to become competent and way more to master.
John was fine letting us take pictures afterwards and video during, even helping get the ridiculous tourist pictures holding the guns.
The driver (also a range instructor) who picked us up and dropped us off was also very polite and knowledgeable which made for fun conversation on the way there and back.
Highly recommend!

Came here for a concierge event and I’m so glad I did! I am pretty intimidated by guns but I don’t want to be. The staff was super patient and knowledgeable. They made me feel as comfortable as possible considering I was sweating bullets. Get it… Sweating bullets! I shot an Uzi and my friend shot an AK. I will definitely be recommending this to everyone! I’m even considering taking one of their certification courses now too!

We were here as part of a bachelor weekend with 7 guys from England. Absolutely fantastic! We had Zach S and Little John as our instructors and they were top class. Being from England we are not used to guns but they made us feel safe and confident. We had the Gold Package and it was perfect. The Desert Eagle was a real highlight.
We spent a long time searching for the best gun range and could not have made a better choice.
Worth every penny and definitely 5 stars!

Two-​pronged review here.
Visitors: I wanted to shoot a Desert Eagle. I mean, I really really dreamed of it. Even after hours of practice with my .9mm I really wanted to fire off something huge. But I knew as a lady with small hands and long nails and generally over-​excited in Vegas, I had to do it safely. So I begged and begged (for about two minutes) my friends and husband to go over to the VMGE.
I knew it would be a safe range with knowledgeable staff. What I didn’t expect was this amazing Range Officer name Little John. Precise, always cautious, he was incredible. Let us split a package so that we could all fire the guns we each wanted to. Made sure we could get great video each time, and took the time to answer each question. He explained the history of each firearm, showed us how to safely secure it and still kept the jokes rolling the whole time. I loved this guy — at one point, I turned to him and shouted «That was better than sex!» — that’s how relaxed I was on the range. And seriously, seeing your husband firing off a pump action shotgun like a boss is very… yeah, it’s awesome.
Could not have asked for a better experience. John took pictures with us and it’s our favorite group shot of the whole trip.
Locals: If you have a fear of guns, and you are ready to conquer it, come here. You can only get over a fear by learning how to first safely secure, fire and clean a weapon. You can only do that on a range like this one. And you should feel comfortable and safe, respected and listened to, and you can only do that at 3084 S Highland Drive.
When we walked up, there were four guys standing outside, all armed (it was a certification day if I remember right). I never felt worried, one look with a practiced eye tells you this is what a truly responsible gun owner looks like. My husband had never been on a range before, and my two friends, an engaged couple, had not either. They were obviously nervous, but the guys greeted us and welcomed us to Vegas, asking where we were from. It worked to relax my group immediately; it was simply that this is a safe place and you could see it even before you walked in the door.
They offer safety classes, basic instructional classes, they take the time with every customer that walks in the door. There were women there, customers and employees, all clearly comfortable and treated with respect.
This is a place that you could come in and just say «I don’t know what I’m doing, but I want to learn.» And they will say «Excellent, welcome. Let’s start with this.»
And if you’re lucky, you’ll get Little John as an instructor.
We will be back, and many times. This is a great place, a true gem in the city, and we can’t recommend it enough.

Guns! Ammo! Men with guns!
What’s not to love about hanging out at a gun range surrounded by testosterone and lots of guns? This place is a lot of fun and going with friends makes it a better experience!
This store has everything. The guys are cool because they’re patient with girls who don’t know what they’re doing and make us feel comfortable. Before entering the actual range you’re in a tiny glass room waiting for your turn and the excitement begins as you hear the shots get louder and louder. At this point the bad ass I was coming in is suddenly getting nervous and my palms begin to sweat. I was imagining just shooting things up like nobody’s business but with every min passing I’m looking for excuses to not shoot.
So once that door opened and we all entered the range my nerves got the best of me. The flying bullets and intense noise is a lot for someone who doesn’t shoot often. Last time I shot a gun was years ago. So again we wait and by the time it’s my turn I’m ready to just turn around. The guy who is waiting for me can clearly see my nervousness and he starts to crack jokes immediately. This put me at ease instantly. Good job to these trained guys who know how to handle all kinds of people.
Once I put my big girl pants on it was on :)
This guy was great. Made me feel safe. Built my ego and made me forget about my nerves. Something took over holding this M4 and once I got going the bad ass that is deep inside of me took over :)
Loved this place! Staff was unbelievable and what a stress reliever. I felt so good after shooting! Long day at work stop at a gun range :)

This was such a great experience, I took my kids and they loved it, when we first walked in, an older man greeted us and did not seem to nice or helpful, a lady immediately took over and started helping us and she was just so nice and helpful. Once we picked the package we wanted she turned us over to Bobby I believe was his name, he walked the kids through the process and just made the experience that much better. Thank you Bobby we will be back and definitely ask for you. Recommend this place, speak to the lady, she’s more than willing to help (only lady I saw).

My wife and I wanted to shoot while in Vegas, so I did a lot of checking beforehand of the companies in the area (packages, guns, prices, pickup/​dropoff, etc), and Vegas Machine Gun Experience came out on top. We were thrilled with our experience. We were picked up at our hotel right on time by a courteous driver. They have both packages, as well as single gun rentals, so you can get a package if you want it, and then add another gun to try. None of the other places we checked out had this array of packages, guns, and flexibility. And the prices were the lowest advertised. Our range officer was fantastic. I’m very familiar with guns, and he recognized that immediately. When he saw that I didn’t need instruction he handed me each gun (safely) and let me go. My wife, on the other hand, is fairly new to shooting and was nervous thinking about shooting different guns. Zach was the perfect instructor (better than I ever could have been) and stepped her slowly through each weapon until she was comfortable. And her targets proved it, because she shot great! We got some great photos and video of each other shooting. We got to keep our targets, take some after-​shooting photos in the lanes, and then got our free ride back to the hotel. They have the complete setup, with many guns and packages to choose from, free transportation, reasonable prices, and great people. You couldn’t ask for a better experience. When we get back to Vegas this will be one of our first stops again.
By the way, if you want a real thrill, pick the Gun Show as one of your packages. You’ll be shooting the three most powerful production handguns in the world.

Came here for a bachelor party and had a great time. The staff was super friendly. If you’ve never shot a machine gun this will no doubt be a lot of fun. Every guy in our group had a blast.

Range officer was friendly, knowledgeable and very safety-​conscious. Fantastic experience for this first-​timer! They’re close to the strip, cheap cab ride but they’ll also shuttle you to and from.

Great place with a lot of options when it comes to guns, good range but personally I do think its on the pricey side, still a lot of fun though

We went on Monday, 1÷21÷2014, they picked us up from the Quad hotel and casino, in a very nice van by a great, informative man named «Sarge». He told us about the guns they had for rent, gave us $ 5 off coupons, and eased whatever fears the ladies in the group had about firing a gun. When we got to the facility, we picked out what guns or packages we wanted to shoot, and a target from the selection they had and were assigned a range officer, named John (they called him little John, but, hey whatever works). After the large group before us left, we donned our protection, and he assisted us shooting our guns, one by one, telling us the intricacies of each weapon and the best way to handle the recoil. All the while with a smile on his face, and a great demeanor. At the end, he even gave us a free 10 rounds of 9 mm pistol ammo to shoot. Overall fully recommend it, especially for the price (my SMG was only $ 45 to shoot for 2 clips). Absolutely worth it.

Ive never felt sooooo screwed!!!
I went there to kill an hour and wanted to rent a 9 mm. I told the guy I wanted a 9 mm and filled out the paperwork. He walked me to the lane with the gun and a yellow plastic parts bin with some ammo in it. I figured he was going to set me up and supervise the first few rounds to see if I knew what I was doing… which he did.
After emptying the clip I asked him where the extra rounds were. He said that was all of them (4 remaining of 20). I said, oh OK I guess I would need to purchase a full box of ammo to continue shooting. He said I would be required to buy another complete «package» which was $ 25 for a gun and 20 extra rounds. I shook my head in disbelief. I assumed I could shoot all day as long as I was buying thier ammo, renting the lane, buying thier targets and renting thier guns. That was not the case. When I was done shooting in all of 2 minutes I told him what bulls#@! I thought that was and how screwed I felt.
I and not a regular range shooter so I just sucked it up and figured next time I went anywhere I would have to ask if they were like any real range or do they screw you $ 25 at a time like the Vegas Machine Gun Experience.
