It is said that when Chinese people come to the United States, there are three things they must do: take a photo with the Statue of Liberty, go to Las Vegas to gamble, and play with guns. China is a country that strictly controls guns, and a certain proportion of toy guns are recognized by law.
Toy guns are considered "real guns." To be honest, possessing toy guns is also a crime. However, men's passion for guns cannot be castrated or blocked. Therefore, in the United States where guns are rampant, playing with guns has become a must-have.
According to U.S. federal law, foreign tourists are not allowed to possess guns. Shooting ranges in most states are only open to residents. Residents can bring their own firearms and bullets and rent shooting venues. Only the shooting ranges in Las Vegas can play as they wish.
, no matter which country you are from, as long as you can afford the money, there will be staff at your side to assist you at any time when shooting, to help you load the gun, and you are not allowed to do any other actions except pulling the trigger and posing for photos.
It is also a workaround to circumvent the law.
I have been to two shooting ranges in Las Vegas, both of which are indoor shooting ranges in the city. The first one is called Battlefieldvegas, which is west of the CircusCircus Hotel and parallel to the Las Vegas Strip. The transportation is very convenient.
The store provides Hummer military vehicle pick-up and drop-off. As long as you make a reservation by phone, a handsome man in military uniform will drive a camouflage military version of the Hummer to pick you up at your hotel for free. There are military helicopters, tanks, armored vehicles, military trucks, Hummers, etc. in the parking lot of the store.
There are large contemporary, Vietnam War, and World War II era props for tourists to climb and take photos. Military fans should not miss it.
The shooting range is divided into two parts: inside and outside. The outside mainly displays various firearms and sells clothing and souvenirs. According to my observation, the firearms hanging on the wall are all BBGUNs. The Maxim and other machine guns displayed in the hall are genuine and souvenirs.
Here, you can buy grenades without the explosives. The heavy iron thing feels good in your hand, but it’s a pity that you can’t take it on a plane.
Inside is an indoor shooting range. First go through the formalities at the counter, choose the package, pay the fee, and read the shooting range rules. Basically, it is how to use the gun safely. You are not allowed to point the gun at anyone at any time, and do not put your finger on the trigger. Because China
There are too many tourists, and the rules are in Chinese, so there will be no difficulty in reading.
There are many types of packages, which shows that the operators have taken great pains, including SWAT series, SEAL Team series, D-DAY World War II series, Vietnam War series, Japanese Army World War II series, British Army World War II series, Soviet Army World War II series, Cold War series, Nazi series, etc., starting from TT33
to the Desert Eagle, from the M1903 Springfield rifle to the FNSCAR, from the Thomson to the MP5, from the M1918BAR to the M249SAW, basically all the guns you can think of are included. The link is as follows, and you can make up your own mind.
I chose the SWAT package, which cost 159 US dollars, plus renting protective glasses and earmuffs, target paper and a five-yuan tip, the total consumption was 167 US dollars, four kinds of guns, GLOCK17 pistol, MP5 submachine gun, Remington 870 shotgun, and
There is an AWP sniper rifle with a total of 80 rounds of ammunition. Each shot costs two dollars to synthesize, which is about ten yuan. It’s a shame that I didn’t use a chain-type machine gun...
After paying the fee, you received protective goggles, earmuffs, target papers, and a small waiting machine. After wandering around the store for a few minutes, the small machine started to vibrate and you quickly came to the entrance. There was a coach in military uniform waiting for you.
You put on your earmuffs and glasses. Note that you must put on your earmuffs now. It will be too late if you go in. The protective goggles are very big, so wearing myopia glasses will not affect you. There are two doors in the shooting range. After entering, the room will be filled with smoke and debris.
Cartridges, you can see various firearms placed in the cabinets. On the shooting lane, customers are shooting with the help of the staff. Even with earmuffs, they can feel the loud sound.
The instructor leads you to the shooting lane and teaches you how to shoot with words and gestures, such as three points and one line. Then he asks you whether you are left or right-handed to determine where you stand. After explaining clearly, he takes out the gun and inserts it.
Load the magazine, hold the barrel and aim it at the target. At this time, the target paper has been hung up. Use the electric switch to control the position at a certain distance. Normally, it is about fifteen meters. After you take the gun, you only need to pull the trigger.
After shooting a magazine, the gun is empty and hung up. The instructor takes the gun, continues to load the magazine, and after shooting the ammunition in the package, the instructor collects the gun, inspects the gun twice, uses a small flashlight to shine inside the gun chamber, confirms that there are no bullets, and then gives the gun to the gun.
You can now pose for photos.
The four guns I chose are all popular Western police firearms. My feelings are as follows. The GLOCK17 has excellent directivity and small recoil. For a senior gun fan like me who has been playing with toy guns since I was seven or eight years old, it is very easy to use.
Easy, basically the impact point is within the red heart. The MP5 submachine gun is said to be the best submachine gun in service. The single shot is very accurate, and the three-shot short burst is also extremely stable. If you can't control the continuous shot, the muzzle will rise. At this time, the coach
Hold your shoulders to prevent accidents. It is worth mentioning that the MP5 I used was probably at the end of its life. During the shooting process, it jammed several times. The charging handle ejected the cartridge case, and the cartridge case was deformed. When shooting GLOCK17, it was obviously visible.
The fight was so frightening that sparks were flying everywhere.
The Remington 870 shotgun is the most classic police weapon. When you pull it, it shoots. The sound is loud and the recoil is obviously very large. However, the user is also very confident. With such a large-caliber weapon in hand, zombies and so on
Nothing to fear.
The AWP sniper rifle uses 308-caliber bullets, has a bipod, and is extremely accurate. I aimed at the numbers on the target paper and shot basically without missing a shot. Semi-automatic shooting, extracting the shell, loading the gun, aiming and shooting, it feels like a sniper.
Man, sharp weapon in hand, I have the world.
In front of the shooting lane, bullet casings were everywhere. I thought the comrades at the Eighth Route Army Arsenal would be drooling when they saw this. In fact, the shooting range will also reuse these shell casings. I picked up some of the shell casings I fired and saw that the shells were excessively worn.
It's obviously reloaded ammunition.
The shooting range I went to for the second time was the "Gun Warehouse" on the side of Highway 15. I drove there by myself at around five o'clock in the afternoon. There were only one or two customers when I went there. The procedures for this place were more complicated and all documents had to be signed in English.
I couldn't understand, so I just ticked the "yes" column. The salesperson was very depressed and talked about it. At this time, a Chinese man came from behind and asked if he could help me. Originally, I had to check the "NO" column. This time I chose the GLOCK17 single item.
20 rounds of ammunition for US$25, plus rental of glasses and earmuffs, target paper, a total of US$30.
This shooting range has a glass wall. There is a fat man playing Barrett inside. You can see the air waves while shooting. The instructor next to him is a long-legged blond girl. She screams excitedly and waits for me to change when I enter.
Uncle Cheng was there to serve me. Compared to the tycoons who played Barrett, the losers who played GLOCK were less attentive. But my marksmanship was not perfect. All 20 rounds of bullets were within ten rings. After shooting, it was like that.
After chatting with a Chinese friend, it turned out that he was a Taiwanese compatriot who was studying in New York and walked there for an hour in the scorching sun. Later, I drove him back, but unfortunately I forgot to leave my contact information.
If foreign tourists want to play shooting, their first choice is Las Vegas. There are no restrictions. There are many types of guns. There are many outdoor shooting ranges far away from the city. You can play with heavy machine guns, six-barreled machine guns, grenade launchers, etc. as you like. You can also drive a Humvee.
Driving an M1 tank to crush a car, in short, as long as you have money, you can't imagine it, but you can't do it.
