Why choose an outdoor machine gun range over an indoor one?
Choosing an outdoor machine gun range provides a far more authentic and immersive experience than a standard indoor lane. At Adrenaline Mountain, you aren't confined to a small booth shooting at a paper target 25 yards away. You are in the vast Mojave Desert, feeling the sun on your skin and experiencing the true power of these firearms without the claustrophobic walls and intense noise reverberation of an indoor facility. Our outdoor setting allows for a greater variety of targets, tactical scenarios, and the freedom to shoot guns simply too powerful for most indoor ranges. Find out more about why an outdoor shooting range is superior.
The freedom of the open desert
Imagine the difference. In an indoor range, you're in a narrow lane, often shoulder-to-shoulder with other shooters. The air is thick with the smell of burnt powder and cleaning solvents. At Adrenaline Mountain, you step into a private shooting bay with a backdrop of desert mountains. You can feel the recoil of a belt-fed machine gun as you send rounds downrange, watching the dust kick up hundreds of yards away. There are no ceilings to contain the thunderous report of a .50 Cal Barrett, only the wide-open sky. This freedom elevates the experience from a simple activity to a genuine adventure.
Realistic scenarios with explosive targets
Paper targets get old fast. Our outdoor setting allows for dynamic and reactive targets that are impossible indoors. With certain packages, you can shoot at cars, appliances, and other objects that react to your shots. You can even choose to blow up a car with Tannerite, creating a satisfying explosion you can feel in your chest. This isn't just target practice; it's a real-world simulation that provides instant, gratifying feedback and an adrenaline rush that no paper target can ever deliver.
A safer, more comfortable shooting environment
Safety is our highest priority, and our outdoor environment offers distinct advantages. The open-air setting provides natural ventilation, eliminating the dense concentration of lead dust and fumes found in many indoor ranges. This makes for a more comfortable and healthier breathing environment. Furthermore, the risk of ricochet is significantly reduced in our professionally designed desert range. Every guest is paired with a dedicated Range Safety Officer who provides constant supervision and guidance, ensuring your adventure is as safe as it is exciting.
What machine guns can I shoot at Adrenaline Mountain?
Adrenaline Mountain boasts an arsenal of over 90 firearms, including some of the most iconic full-auto machine guns in history. You can choose from a wide selection that covers different eras and conflicts. Our collection includes the legendary AK-47, the versatile M4 Carbine, and the classic Tommy Gun. For those seeking the ultimate power trip, we offer belt-fed options like the M249 SAW, the M60, and the king of them all, the M2 'Ma Deuce' .50 Caliber machine gun. The ground-shaking report and sheer force of the M2 are something you have to experience to believe.
Expert one-on-one instruction and unwavering safety
Whether you're a seasoned marksman or have never held a firearm before, our expert instructors ensure your safety and success. Upon arrival, you'll be matched with a personal Range Safety Officer who will be by your side for the entire experience.

This one-on-one attention guarantees a safe, educational, and personalized adventure tailored to your comfort and skill level.

How does Adrenaline Mountain compare to other Vegas machine gun ranges?
Adrenaline Mountain offers a fundamentally different and superior experience compared to other Las Vegas shooting ranges, many of which are located in industrial parks or strip malls. Our key differentiators are our authentic outdoor environment, the scale of our operation, and the all-inclusive value we provide. While others offer a quick, transactional experience, we provide a true half-day or full-day adventure that feels like a genuine escape from the city. You can compare us to other ranges like Battlefield Vegas to see the difference for yourself.
Location: Scenic desert escape vs. urban warehouse
Why shoot in a warehouse when you can have the entire Mojave Desert as your playground? Adrenaline Mountain is situated on 400 private acres of scenic desert terrain. Instead of concrete walls and artificial lighting, you're surrounded by mountains and Joshua trees. The drive to our facility is part of the experience, taking you away from the noise of the Strip and into the beautiful, rugged landscape of Southern Nevada. This immersive setting makes your machine gun adventure feel more authentic and memorable.
Value: All-inclusive packages with no hidden fees
We believe in transparent pricing and exceptional value. When you book with us, the price you see is the price you pay. Our packages include everything you need: the firearms, a generous amount of ammunition, reactive targets, top-of-the-line safety equipment, and a personal safety instructor. We also provide a free shuttle service with six daily pickup times from the Las Vegas Strip, saving you the cost and hassle of a taxi or rideshare. There are no hidden range fees or surprise charges.
Authenticity: Real-world scenarios vs. paper targets
Our focus is on providing an authentic, high-octane experience. Firing a full-auto machine gun at a piece of paper from 25 yards away doesn't capture the true purpose or power of the weapon. At Adrenaline Mountain, you engage with targets at realistic distances in a natural environment. The sound, the feel, and the visual impact of your rounds hitting steel or an explosive target create a visceral, unforgettable thrill that simply cannot be replicated indoors.
Can I combine machine gun shooting with other adventures?
Yes, you can create a full day of adventure by combining your machine gun experience with our other world-class activities. Adrenaline Mountain is a one-stop shop for outdoor thrills, allowing you to build the ultimate custom adventure package. Instead of traveling to multiple locations, you can transition seamlessly from the shooting range to an off-road trail or our heavy equipment playground. This is perfect for groups, bachelor/bachelorette parties, and anyone looking to maximize their time in Las Vegas.
Go Off-Roading on a UTV Tour
After you’ve had your fill at the range, get behind the wheel of a Can-Am Maverick UTV. Our expert guides will lead you on a tour through miles of private desert trails winding through our 400-acre property. Feel the rush as you navigate challenging terrain, kick up a trail of dust, and see the desert from a whole new perspective. You can combine your shooting experience with a UTV off-road tour for a perfect blend of horsepower and firepower.
Drive a Monster Truck
For a truly unique experience, you can get behind the wheel of a real-life monster truck. Our monster truck experience lets you drive one of these massive machines on a custom-built course. It's an incredible feeling of power and an opportunity that few people ever get. Learn more about our monster truck driving experience.
Wield a Flamethrower
If shooting machine guns wasn't hot enough for you, try wielding an actual flamethrower. Under the careful supervision of our instructors, you can unleash a 25-foot plume of fire in our designated burn area. This is one of the most intense and visually gratifying experiences we offer, and it makes for an incredible photo opportunity. Check out our flamethrower experience for a truly fiery finale to your day.
