    Las Vegas Full Auto Ranges

    Hello all!
    After a summer of straight work, I have decided to do a little trip with the girlfriend. This is "treat yourself 2016" as Tom Haverford would say it. I am doing Fri-Mon afternoon and I am looking for suggestions for a Full Auto range. This will be my first time shooting fully automatic, and so I am quite excited.

    So far, I have only checked out a few of them. I could really only afford two or three weapons as they are quite expensive. So far what has really caught my eye was Battlefield Vegas. These guys have an amazing collection of C&R full-auto weapons that I would really like to try. I really want to do the ppsh, but the second one I am having trouble with. I think it is between the Thompson 1928, the MG42, or the BAR. I'm writing this post to hear suggestions on different ranges or different guns to try. I'm mainly in to C&R but I appreciate modern beauty as well. Let me know about your experiences! If there's anything not gun related that is a must see / must do, then tell me what's up! Thank you all!

    Viva Las Vegas!!

      Fewer people are killed with all rifles each year (323 in 2011) than with shotguns (356), hammers and clubs (496), and hands and feet (728).

        I vote for Battlefield Vegas. Then lunch at Rollin Smoke BBQ.



        Shot 6 guns over 2 days. Doubled the ammo package on the full autos. It goes fast.

          Machine guns in Las Vegas are a boring ripoff. Shooting indoors at paper 10' away is boring and paying $1.00 to $2.00 per round + gun rentals is a ripoff. I vote for bagging Las Vegas for full auto and find a better deal at Big Sandy or elsewhere outdoors. I was just in Vegas last week for daughters birthday. God I hate Vegas, it's a little warm right now too. PM me for a vendor in Prescott or there is AudioPhil down in Phoenix. Either will offer an outdoor, much more fun experience at a better price in a beautiful setting.

            +1 on battlefield Vegas... cool static displays of Helicopters, Tanks and smashed cars... lots of guns....
            Rule 1- ALL GUNS ARE ALWAYS LOADED

            Rule 2 -NEVER LET THE MUZZLE COVER ANYTHING YOU ARE NOT PREPARED TO DESTROY (including your hands and legs)

            Rule 3 -KEEP YOUR FINGER OFF THE TRIGGER UNTIL YOUR SIGHTS ARE ON THE TARGET

            Rule 4 -BE SURE OF YOUR TARGET AND WHAT IS BEYOND IT

                Go have some pancakes at DuPars and eat so many shrimp cocktails there that you get iodine poisoning. I really don't care for most of the gun shops or ranges or gun shows in Vegas.

                Shooting a MG42 would be neat though. I remember one range had a Beretta M12 I'd of liked to fire that I saw them all the time when I lived in Italy.

                I'd like to see the Mafia Museum eventually they do have guns there.

                  I went to Battlefield Vegas a few years back and shot a MP5. It's too expensive (but, then again, it is Vegas, and it is a rental, and it's not like you can bring in your own ammo and load up their mags), but it was still worth it.

                    Training for those upside down bad guys, I see. You never know when they're going to drop from the ceiling, Leon style.

                        Too expensive. Gotta be better options. Like Audiophil in AZ.

                            Can you bring and use your own upper anywhere in Vegas? How about ammo?

                            I'm not into getting gouged in Vegas.

                              You want to use your upper and ammo in their rental? I doubt that is going to happen. If you want to shoot your own guns there is the big Clark County range you could use that would be preferable to one of the tourist trap ranges.
