To start off, I know nothing about guns other than what I've seen in movies. As total noobs, we walked in Machine Gun Vegas not fully knowing what to expect, but, man, what an experience!!! First, we were just happy to escape from the scorching Vegas heat outside (106 degrees F). The lobby and the guest waiting area was very open. Aside from the huge display of guns-I-cannot-name covering almost the entire left side wall (from the entrance), there were also arrangements of MGV merchandise we looked at, while we waited for our safety officer, Brad.
Brad was outstanding! I was VERY nervous as I've never held a gun before. He immediately went over the safety procedures and repeatedly reassured us that he will be there every step of the way, and he did not disappoint! I tried the Femme Fatale Experience. Even though the guns were pink, it didn't make them look less intimidating to me. Brad was very tentative. Before he loaded each one, he showed me what they are, what to expect, how to hold them, and where to aim. He even let me try holding the unloaded gun for practice; and he adjusted my position where needed to make sure I actually hit the target (which had a zombie head on it!). He was right, I didn't have to do much of anything else other than aim and pull the trigger. Being as jittery as I was, I felt VERY safe. That first shot with the Pink Glock was so exhilarating, I could hear my heart pounding! I jumped when I heard the first few bangs, but it only got more exciting as I took more shots. One of which hit the zombie's forehead dead in the center, not too bad for a first-timer!
Overall, thank you MGV for making my first shooting experience an unforgettable one! I highly recommend MGV for their attention to gun safety and their professionalism.
On a side note, I imagined myself looking a lot cooler with a gun, but the pictures proved otherwise... :P
