Inside Orlando’s first machine gun theme park

FOXNEWS ^ | Feb. 6, 2015

Orlando, Florida is known for its world-class theme parks, but if hanging with Mickey Mouse isn’t really you’re speed, there's a new theme park that may give you more bang for your buck.

At Machine Gun America, kids as young as 13 can shoot military-grade firearms at custom targets or in simulated experiences, no prior experience required. And it's only six miles from Disney World.

The park just opened in December --and it's already proving to be a hit with couples, singles, and yes, families.

Wes Doss, director of safety and training at Machine Gun America, says there’s also a big international draw.

Sounds like great fun.

But I worry that soon, some hand-wringing lib, "Moms-Against-Machineguns" group will protest.

[bikerman]

Moms-Against-Machineguns” group will protest.

Give them $15 an hour to hold the targets. problem solved.

[Robert DeLong]

Now that does sound like fun. I may have to try that out myself. Where I used to live in Virginia one of my neighbors had a machine gun. Never knew which neighbor it was, but I sure could here them trying it out. Sounded kewl to me.

Now that this story is on FOX, expects the bedwetting to begin by the middle of the week

[Robert DeLong]

Heck, make it $1,000 dollars an hour, and make sure the money is presented in a metal enclosure. Don’t want the next one questioning the holes, LOL.

Weren’t libs making a big fuss about that Arizona uzi instructor instructing the 4 year old? This time they might have coronary.

“Machine Gun America”

You mean the one who got killed when the kid with the Uzi lost control on full auto?

[jonascord]

" This time they might have coronary."

We can only hope...

This is aimed mostly at Tourists from Other Countries.

Vegas has been this this for a long time, and in Honolulu and Guam there is literally a shooting range on every corner.

And those people make an Absolute Mint from the Asian Tourists.

Lots of Australians and Russians too.

[Battle Hymn of the Republic]

They need to recite to visitors why we have the 2nd amendment. Its not for hunting or shooting targets.... its to protect against tyrants.

In any case, this is nice to see.

I can't stand the Orlando Disney scene... Bread and Circus.

I bought my lib family members from Toronto to the shooting range in AZ 2 yrs ago. They were adamantly anti-gun, shootings in America blah blah.

After 30 minutes, it was “how much for another 10 rounds?’ I almost had to threaten them to get another ride back to L.A. Beside them were Japanese tourists who were laughing as hell when they were firing a 50 cal.

Looks fun, needs more old stuff, and a web editor that actually knows something about guns. When an O/U shotgun is labeled a ‘side-by-side coach gun’ multiple times I just say FAIL and SMH. ;)

Yep, see this what I mean.

These Gun Tourism Ranges are almost solely for Tourists from Non-Gun countries, when Would I pay $15.00 for 10 Rounds PLUS a Range Fee, when I have guns of my own?

When I was Honolulu those Gun Range Street Peddlers would shove a flier in all the Japanese Faces

But when I came walking by they ignored my completely, why? Because While I could have been an Australian, chances are I was an American and would just rather wait until I got home and shot for free in my backyard. :P

“But when I came walking by they ignored my completely, why? Because While I could have been an Australian,”

You should’ve just to find out how they operate. You should have been ‘Oy crikey, me nanny tald me goons are bad but hey, ahm willing to trah for a few quids, yah?”

LOL!

Well, I don't think I could pull of an Australian Very well.

Besides, I did see inside one, OUTRAGEOUS Prices.

Yet, those people pay!

They are gouged like you wouldn't believe, that is what I mean when I say the owners make a mint!

[upchuck]

Thrilled a park like this exists.

This article needs an editor badly.

[Red in Blue PA]

They must be making a mint!

And it looks like they know their audience!

[KC_Lion]

22 cal. S&W Revolver

22 cal. Ruger Semi Auto

22 cal. Ruger Rifle

Total: 3 Guns, 26 Shots

$40.00 $30.00 with

30 BUCKS FOR 26 SHOTS OF .22 AMMO?

GO JUMP IN A LAKE!

But those crazy people pay it, and pay it and pay it.

In the Capital of Guam, on the stripe next to the super nice hotels, you have the signs for the stores that read: "GUNS! COWBOY SHOOTING! etc etc"

Koreans, Taiwanese, Japanese, they all love it and pay for their love.
