Always listen carefully to range officers and wear required safety gear to ensure a secure shooting session.

Use hearing protection
The rapid-fire nature of the UTG creates loud noise bursts; effective ear protection is a must.
Grip firmly and maintain control
A solid grip helps manage recoil and keeps shots on target during automatic fire.
Hearing protection
Protect your ears from loud gunfire during automatic shooting.
Eye protection
Safety glasses prevent debris or shell casings from causing injury.
