A pity we can't do that here

Although without more knowledge of the place, seeing someone in a "killing house" with a full or semi auto weapon and no training.....accidents waiting to happen??

Wish I had time to check it out.......DAMMIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Still, it is after all the Land of the Free (for now)....

This has been on sky news all morrning.
Looks like a lot of fun seem a lot like the gun store which i think is also in vages.
Dont like the idea of alcahol being served there unless its restricted to when you have finished they dont explain that verey well in the storey.

Most of the firearms at The Gun Store are shot out with very worn barrels. An expensive experience for what it is, in my opinion. Having said that my, then, 10 year old son did get to use a MP5 on fully auto for the first time.

I prefer Center Mass at Boulder City, where the rental guns are in much better condition plus they have a video simulator for CCW/ law enforcement training.

The gun store is ok, I went there 2 years ago. You are herded in and out like cattle very quickly. It seemed to be professional enough, but expensive for the amount of time you actually get to shoot.

Much preferred shooting elsewhere in the USA, even though I got to shoot an Uzi on full auto :)

Stuff I have shot on full auto in AZ includes:

MP5,
M16
HK G36
UZI and "Mini Uzi"
AK 47
Sten Gun
M60 Machine Gun
FN 240 (?) Machine Gun

Doubt the Vegas experience just to shoot full auto would justify the expense....just go to Scottsdale gun club. marvellous facility and guns are in good condition all round...

Prefer semi auto personally...

Shot one of those GSG "1911's in .22RF today, nice.....
