What To Look for in a Las Vegas Machine Gun Range

When visiting Las Vegas, there are countless ways to amp up the excitement of your trip. The toughest decision involves choosing what to do first. There are plenty of options. You can take a stroll down historic Fremont Street or enjoy the sights and sounds of the world-famous Vegas Strip. 

However, there is one thing that needs to be on your itinerary — visiting a Las Vegas shooting range. You and your group can make lifetime memories while shooting machine guns in Vegas. It’s the perfect highlight for your fun-filled vacation.

The range you choose will make or break your full-auto experience. So, here’s what you should consider when selecting a Las Vegas machine gun range and why The Range 702 stands out as an excellent option. 

Safety Is the Number One Priority

Safety should always come first, especially when handling a fully automatic machine gun. Machine guns average about 500 to 1,000 rounds per minute. However, you’ll find weapons in our vault that top that. 

Before you get behind that much firepower, it’s important to familiarize yourself with basic safety protocols. Here’s how you know that the range you are visiting makes your safety a priority:

  • Certified instructors: The best ranges employ highly-trained and experienced team members.
  • Safety classes: Any reputable range will put you through a safety briefing to ensure you feel confident. 
  • Protective gear: Top facilities provide all the gear you need to protect your eyes and ears while flinging rounds down range.

So, how do you tell the difference between a range that actually takes safety seriously and one that doesn’t? 

We suggest exploring what sort of classes they offer. Safety-minded facilities will offer other courses in addition to machine gun shooting experiences. For instance, The Range 702 offers concealed carry permit courses, CCW renewal programs, and one-on-one training. 

The individuals teaching basic gun safety to beginners will be the same people handling your safety briefing. You can enjoy peace of mind knowing you are in great hands and are about to have a safe and action-packed machine gun shooting experience. 

Selection of Machine Guns

The Library of Congress states that machine guns date back to 1884. Since then, hundreds of different fully automatic designs have been tested, and dozens have made it into production. The best ranges will have a selection of firearms that showcase the evolution of the machine gun through the years.

Look for a facility with guns from different eras of combat history, including World War II, the Vietnam War, and the Second Gulf War. Identify one (or more) firearms you’d like to try out and book your experience. 

Do any Vegas ranges really have WWII firearms? While we can’t speak for anyone else, The Range 702 does. Our vault includes the MG-42 machine gun. According to the National WWII Museum, American infantrymen dubbed the iconic weapon “Hitler’s Buzz Saw” due to its ability to fire 1,550 rounds per minute.

Are you looking for something a little newer? Our vault also includes the M4, G36, MP5, SCAR, AK-47, and many more. 

Don’t feel overwhelmed by all the choices. Remember, no one said you could only shoot one gun. Why not just book an all-in experience that lets you try out the best weapons the range has to offer? 

Options Should Include a Variety of Experiences

One of the most important things to remember about visiting a gun range in Las Vegas is that you are the customer. Don’t settle for a generic range trip where they only let you mag dump a machine gun and send you home. Find a place that will immerse you in fun experiences unique to the weapon and your shooting preferences.

Don’t get us wrong. There’s nothing wrong with flipping the selector switch over to fully automatic and emptying an entire magazine. However, you came for an experience, so you should get one.

What sort of experiences should you look for? Here’s a glimpse at some options The Range 702 offers:

  • Triple Threat: Pick three weapons from the vault and have a great time. 
  • Couples Therapy: Take your date on an adrenaline-packed experience. 
  • Black Ops Experience: Fire some of the most powerful guns used by real black ops teams.
  • The All-in Experience: Fire 13 different weapons from our vault.
  • VIP Bachelor/Bachelorette Party: Plan a group shooting experience before your big day. 
  • Quadzilla: Step behind our monstrous four-barrel machine gun.
  • Full Throttle: Line up your sights and shoot six of the most powerful guns we have to offer. 
  • One and Done: Take your pick of any one weapon in our arsenal.

A versatile facility like The Range 702 can accommodate you and your group, regardless of your experience level or interests. 

Check Reviews and What Others Are Saying About the Range

You should always check out reviews before heading to a Las Vegas machine gun range. Hearing about the experiences of others can give you a solid understanding of what to expect. Look for ranges with a large number of positive reviews, especially for those who were first-time shooters or visitors who were a little nervous. 

If a facility receives positive feedback from numerous first-timers, you know it delivers an accommodating experience that makes everyone feel safe and welcome. That’s what you want the first time you are stepping behind a powerful machine gun.

Even if you are an experienced shooter, it is still important to read the reviews. You don’t want to spend your hard-earned money on a place that won’t meet your expectations. See what others are saying about the place you are interested in visiting and ensure you make the right choice.
