Operated by Battlefield Vegas · Las Vegas, Nevada
Located in the heart of Las Vegas, Nevada, Battlefield Vegas offers an adrenaline-fueled departure from the typical desert trail, inviting visitors to engage with history through raw firepower. The MG 13 Medium Machine Gun is a centerpiece experience here, honoring one of the most powerful belt-fed weapons originating from Nazi Germany. This fully automatic firearm fires the formidable 7.92x57mm caliber rounds, delivering a ferocious shooting experience that’s rare to find outside military history museums.
Set against the backdrop of Nevada’s arid landscape, the range facility provides a safe, controlled environment tailored for both first-timers and seasoned shooting enthusiasts. Unlike the surrounding natural adventures in the Mojave Desert—where red sandstone outcrops and rugged canyons draw hikers and climbers—Battlefield Vegas taps into a different kind of thrill, focusing on historical weaponry and the visceral intensity of automatic fire.
This hands-on experience combines education with excitement, giving participants a chance to handle a fully operational piece of World War II technology. The weapon’s 25-round magazine and belt-fed mechanism offer a rapid, sustained rhythm of fire that can be physically demanding but utterly unforgettable for its power and mechanical precision.
Battlefield Vegas takes safety seriously, with expert instructors guiding shooters through every step—from loading the weapon to aiming and firing accurately in their open, professionally managed range. Beyond the MG 13, the company offers a wide variety of historic and modern firearms, making it a unique destination for those intrigued by military history or simply seeking a new high-octane challenge during their Las Vegas stay.
Unlike more traditional outdoor activities nearby, this indoor/outdoor shooting range bridges past and present by allowing visitors to touch history’s machinery and feel the recoil firsthand. Whether you’re a military buff, a firearm aficionado, or looking for a stark contrast to the neon lights and casino floors, Battlefield Vegas delivers an authentic, hard-hitting experience in the southwest desert.
