    Any Las Vegas Gun Nuts on the board?

    I'm not a hardcore gun person, but I do like to visit a rental range every now and then and shoot a piece of absurdly big hardware. To date I've fired a Desert Eagle .50, a Redhawk .44, a couple of .45's, and a couple of other .44 revolvers.

    (best line I heard was shooting the DE.50. The guy in the next stall, shooting a shotgun at a paper target, looked over after he saw the muzzle blast and said "now that's just silly..."
    It took me a minute to realize why he sounded so familiar... It was Tone Loc. ;-)

    I'm taking a trip to vegas, and IIRC some of the ranges there have full-auto weapons available.

    Can anyone suggest a range where I won't get laughed at if it's discovered I'm not a gun expert? I'll have a car with me, so anywhere within driving distance of the strip.

    Also, since this may well be the only time I ever do this, what would you suggest I shoot to make the experience memorable?

    About how much $ should I plan on spending? (given the difference between shooting a rental 9mm and a rental .50, I figure I should ask...)

      American Shooters Supply

      Its pretty close to the strip. Ron Montoya owns the place and is a really good guy (at least there), I'm almost positive they have some full auto guns.

          THE GUN STORE.

          i go there EVERY time i goto vegas.

          it is on tropcaina west out of town.

          it will be on your left, great bunch of guns, and a lot of fun.

          if you need anymore info let me know.


          from the judge in the WDP v Sp case.... " i find it significant that aside from a somewhat limited notebook produced by gaston, the four named inventors offer NO documentation of there work or there contributions to the conception or reduction to practice of the claimed invention"

              Thanks, Datapimp. The Gun Store looks like exactly the kind of touristy place I'm looking for. ;-)

              (I always feel weird walking into a range and finding a bunch of nervous looking guys talking about seeing the black helicoptors again last night, and how "the war" is due to start any minute now...)

                  The Gun Store used to be The Survival Store. Went there every year during the Soldier of Fortune convention to get my full-auto jollys. (also to get my photo with a nekkid lady )

                  Ironically, in 1991, it was the first place I shot a Desert Eagle .50
