    MACHINE GUN EXPERIENCE FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

    Can I only shoot hand guns?
    You can add on handguns to machine gun packages but cannot only shoot hand guns.
    Am I allowed to experience the machine gun packages if I’m not from the United States?
    Yes. We accept customers from all over the world. Please bring a valid ID like a passport or local driver’s license. You do not need to be a member of our range or have a special firearms license.
    Can I split a package with someone else?

    No, the packages are per person and cannot be split.

    What is included with the machine gun experience?

    The prices of the machine gun experiences include the ammunition, eye / ear protection, target, and one-on-one instruction from one of our Firearms Specialists.

    Is there an age limit?

    Yes, you must be 18 years of age with a valid identification document to shoot. Children must be 10 or older with a parent or legal guardian in order to shoot. Younger kids can come to our facility with parents but cannot go into the range.

    I have never shot a gun before. Does that matter?

    No, it does not matter. Our Firearms Specialists provide one-on-one instruction and can adapt to all levels of experience. We also create a comfortable environment that is perfect for first timer shooters.

    I have never shot before, which machine gun package should I choose?

    Any machine gun package is acceptable for a beginner or expert shooter. You do not need shooting experience since our Firearms Specialists will be with you at all times providing instruction.

    How long does the machine gun experience last?

    It depends on the size of your group and how many machine guns you want to shoot. Typically you can expect to be at our facility for about an hour.

    Do I need to purchase a machine gun package or can I just pick which firearms I’d like to shoot from the A La Carte menu?
    You have the option to pick the themed machine gun packages or create your own package from the A La Carte menu. If you pick from the A La Carte menu, there is a minimum of three (3) machine guns.
    Do I need to make a Priority Booking in advance for the machine gun experience?

    No, but we recommend it. With a Priority Booking you will have priority over walk-in guests resulting in shorter wait times.

    Do I need to select my package when I make a Priority Booking or can I decide when I get there?

    You can decide when you get to Lock & Load. Our sales associates will explain the menu to you and help you pick the most appropriate packages and firearms.

    Can I select the Cadet Package if I am older than thirteen (13) years old?

    The Cadet Package is only for 10 to 13 year olds so older customers cannot select this package. Also, anyone under the age of 18 cannot shoot handguns.

    Do your instructors speak Spanish?

    Yes, most of our sales staff and Firearms Specialists speak Spanish.

    Can my friends come into the range to watch me shoot the machine guns?

    A shooter can have one (1) friend or family member with them in the shooting range to take photos or videos. To ensure proper safety, we cannot allow additional spectators within the range. However, your additional party members will be able to watch through the viewing windows.

    Can I take pictures or video?

    Yes. A friend or family member can take photos and videos within the range.

    Do you provide eye and ear protection?

    Yes, we do – at no extra charge.

    What is a “round?”

    A round is a bullet. When we refer to “25 rounds,” it is the same as 25 bullets.

    We take our last machine gun experience guests one hour before closing time.

    Do you have parking?

    What attire do you recommend?
