Gunship Helicopters

I (42m) went with my younger daughter for a unique experience. It is about an hour drive from Las Vegas. You have to have (or rent) your own car or use their available transportation service. It was a fun, unique experience for sure. The plan was that I shoot and my daughter just rides along. Well, she got the opportunity to shoot a fully automatic MP5 while waiting for things to kick off and loved it. I then asked the staff if we could switch such that she shoots and I ride after seeing how much she enjoyed the machine gun. They all chatted to ensure everyone was comfortable (a safety thing) and agreed without any fuss. The ride was a ton of fun, the staff was great and my daughter loved it. I recommend this to anyone looking for a unique activity.

An absolute bucket list item. Don’t skimp on this! It’s not cheap but it worth every penny. Get the biggest package you can afford, you won’t regret it. The staff is incredibly nice. Very knowledgeable and helpful with complete focus on safety. But at the same time they are fun and obviously enjoy helping people live out their door gunner fantasies! Be sure to include the ground range and (if your budget allows) fire an actual tank!!! We will definitely do this again!

Hello guys from Gunship Helicopters Las Vegas, after I had a few days to process the collected impressions, I would like to thank you for the given experience and don't want to miss to leave a small rating. I had one of the best experiences of my life, which I will not forget so quickly! As I already told you on site, I always wanted to experience how it feels to fly in a helicopter with open side doors, as I had already seen this in so many movies. This experience combined with one (or more) :-) belts of the M249 was the absolute blast! Also I wanted to thank you for your open and friendly kind during our visit as you always took your time to answer the questions which I had. Besides all that it was definetly a good decision to come out to your outdoor range near Sandy Valley. The experience to shoot weapons on an outdoor range is definetly better then an indoor range. Especially as you offer the long distance sniper experience with the CAL50. Also the amount of Tanks & Cars which we were allowed to see was great. Thank you very much and hope to meet you again some Day. Christoph

Unbelievable experience! I don't even know where to begin... Chris picked us up with a few other folks and we headed out to the Gunship range which was about an hour give or take from the strip. Would recomend going with a pickup if at all possible. Everyone was very friendly, informative, very keen on saftey with several breifs on each gun that would be offered along with helicopter safety. Although we booked in advance the Gunship team happily accommodated a number of changes. One of those was of course more ammo but we also added a mountain high fly which was more than worth the $100. Started off on the ground with the full auto MP5 then on to the full auto AK47 and last be certainly not least, 2 rounds through the Barrett 50cal. As if that wasn't enough, it was on to the Helicopter! Ended up with 400 rounds (think I might go for more next time) which goes by fast but was an experience never to be forgotten! Pilot and crew were awesome and informative as well and got us a final photo outside the helicopter and of course a VERY good video provided by Gunship Helicopters with mulitple video angels. Thank you to all the guys at Gunship Helicopters for a truly one of a kind experience! We will be back!
