Machine Gun Experience Las Vegas: Tactical Shooting Package

Fire a Glock, MP5, M4 and shotgun in a single afternoon

A machine gun shooting experience in Las Vegas puts you on an indoor range with four fully automatic weapons—a Glock 17 handgun, MP5 submachine gun, M4 rifle and tactical shotgun—under one-on-one instruction from former military experts. The session runs about an hour and includes safety gear, ammunition for each weapon, a dedicated safety officer throughout, and your target to take home. Complimentary Military Humvee pickup and drop-off from your hotel are available upon request.

The Experience

You arrive at the range after a Humvee pickup from your Las Vegas hotel (or drive yourself if you prefer). An instructor fits you with safety gear and walks through the range rules and weapon handling before you step up to the line. A dedicated safety officer stays with you the entire time, watching your stance and grip, making sure you're comfortable with each gun before you fire. The rush comes fast: you start with the Glock 17 handgun and 20 rounds, move to the MP5 submachine gun with 25 rounds, then the M4 rifle with another 25, and finish with the tactical pump-action shotgun and five shells. Each weapon feels different in your hands—the handgun's recoil, the submachine gun's rapid fire, the rifle's precision, the shotgun's kick.

The whole experience fits into about an hour, which means you can book it on a free afternoon without losing the rest of your day to travel and waiting. You walk out with your target as a souvenir and the kind of story that sticks. If you want photos of yourself shooting, those are available to buy. The range is minutes from the Strip, and if you booked the Humvee, your driver is waiting to take you back to your hotel.
