Machine guns in Vegas

#1 Post by Sim G »

Now I know there was a bit of a thread on this sort of subject qclittle while ago, but in short, those who have experience, where's the best place to have a cabbie of the stuff we can't shoot in the UK when in Las Vegas?

A friend is off there on a short holiday with some other friends. They have all shot before, but mainly the clay type thingy.

It's a short break and they're staying on the "strip" and don't want to venture too far as.......... the group consists of four blonde girls!!!
In 1978 I was told by my grand dad that the secret to rifle accuracy is, a quality bullet, fired down a quality barrel..... How has that changed?

I went to the 'imaginatively named' "The Gun Store" http://thegunstorelasvegas.com/ back in the early naughties and everything i wanted to shoot was there; uzi, MP5, M16, minimi, grease gun, glocks of every description, .50AE Desert Eagle etc etc, was great fun and the 'shoulder-to-shoulder against Bin Laden' spirit was still in full force so as soon as you mentioned you were British you got special treatment :good:

Having looked at the website above now though it looks like it now caters more for no-experience tourists and the prices have sky-rocketed :bad:

Might be a decent backup option if no one can suggest anything better

I've been looking at doing this sort of thing next week when I go to Vegas as the start of my US Road trip :shakeshout:

I was really displeased to say the least at the prices most of these places are charging.

I just googled "Shooting ranges in Las Vegas" and it came upp with half dozen or so.

If I get on any better when I get there I'll let you know :good:
