Words can't describe how amazing our experience was with Gunship Helicopters. From the moment I inquired about the different packages to the time we left for the day, every single person at Gunship Helicopters provided outstanding customer service. As for the experience itself, we did both the helicopter and ground shooting. Once in a lifetime experience and we loved every minute of it. They run a tight ship operationally, and there was very little idle time. I highly recommend gunship helicopters and can't wait to come back for round two! read more

Great experience, great staff, and a lot of fun. Despite being a Veteran, I'd never shot out of a helicopter before. It's worth a try, if you've ever thought about doing it! read more

Gunship Helicopters provides a great experience. The staff is great. They take safety very seriously and make sure everyone is having a great time. I got my son the door gunner package with the tactical flight. This was for his 21st birthday. His mom rode along since neither have been in a Helicopter before. They were given an amazing ride buzzing the ground and banking all over. Then came time to shoot the M249 machine gun! They have cameras on board which captured some awesome videos! This was such an amazing experience for them. I can't wait to go back! I highly recommend Gunship Helicopters. Thanks for making my sons birthday memorable. read more

We did the gunship helicopter with the M240 and it was a wonderful experience. The people there were very nice, helpful, and very professional. Jenelle our driver was very nice and very delightful. We also did the .50 Cal and they also showed us where to shoot very clearly for both experiences I should say. The .50 barely had any kick and has a duo pod and monopod for better accuracy and less recoil. Very nice people very nice place. 5/5 10/10 100/100 would recommend and would come back again! read more

It was my friend's Birthday and he wanted to go here to shoot a machinegun out of the helicopter and I said oh yeah. It is a long drive to get there and a very rocky 3 mile road to get here but it is worth it. the staff is amazing and we had a blast. I totally recommend going here. While we were flying we saw the other items they do. You can shoot a round from a tank and fire a flame thrower. Crazy stuff here and it is spread out so totally safe. My buddy started off shooting an MP5 and then the M4 finishing off with the Barrett 50Cal sniper rifle. The percussion was bad ass. After that we went to the air and shot the SAW from the helicopter. It was a lot of money but worth it. A bucket list item you have to do it once. read more

My best friends and I had one of the best days ever here! The staff is professional and tons of fun. They picked us up from the Venetian (strongly suggest having them do this if possible or if you rent a car make sure it's a SUV or Truck). The trip out there is a little rough (twisty roads and about a mile of thick gravel), I don't suggest being hungover and then doing this. We were a group of 3 so we took turns shooting. We paid for the video and "photo shoot". The staff there are awesome, mostly former military which we loved and respected! Tips: bring a hair tie, sunglasses, water and snacks. read more

Bad ass, unforgettable experience with a group of professionally trained staff. I have to admit I felt very intimidated, especially being a small, asian, female. Everyone there was so friendly and helpful and made our experience super comfortable. The website is pretty thorough about what they offer and what you will need. This was definitely one of our favorite moments out here in Vegas and I highly recommended this experience. It's a must do when in Vegas!!! Thank you Casey and the whole team at Gunship Helicopters you rocked our world! read more

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. read more

An AMAZING experience full of fun and excitement! This outfit is very professional yet know when it's time to have fun! The add ons were worth every penny and added to the experience!

A GREAT EXPERIENCE was had by all 8 in our group and the time was managed very well from scheduling to the execution of the experience! read more

If I could give this place ten stars I would! So I have been wanting to come here for awhile and I asked my husband if we could come for my 35th birthday. I was nervous but excited and after combing through reviews here and on google I decided to just go for it. The entire experience went so well from Casey who helped us book everything to meeting Bradley our pilot when we arrived. Tom, Roland, and Ben were all so fantastic. While we waited our turn I expressed some nervousness to Tom who assured me that being on a helicopter was a similar sensation as being on an elevator and he was so right. Everyone was just SO professional and all about safety which was so comforting. I was also a little worried the experience might be a little cheesy but it wasn't at all. I already want to come back as soon as I can, maybe next month?? I don't think I'll have to twist my husbands arm. My husband also paid $200 for the door breach experience which was a blast. The whole thing was a huge adrenaline rush and I had a blast. I definitely recommend upgrading for as much ammo as possible for the machine gun and paying the $100 for the video. You can thank me later!! TIPS: Use WAZE GPS if you're driving yourself. Also don't take anything nice, we came in our truck because there's a long gravel road you take to get here. Spring for the video and extra ammo if you can. read more

My wife and I were in Vegas for a family reunion and were looks for something exciting and different away from casinos. We booked the Deluxe Battle Buddy experience. From start to finish this was an amazing once in a lifetime experience. Unless you have been in the military many never experience shooting fully automatic weapons. Casey picked us up at the Wynn where we were staying and drove us to the range. Roland and John were very professional, funny, courteous throughout our experience. There is nothing like shooting a belt fed machine gun while hanging out the door of a helicopter while shooting targets on a mountain!!! #justsendit I will definitely return and try some other experiences they offer. read more

Amazing experience. Definitely something you have to try at least once. How many people can say they have shot out a helicopter? I booked over the phone about a month in advance. I opted to add in some extras later on. Casey was helpful with the process and answered all my questions promptly. Keep in mind you cannot take a Lyft or Uber to the location. You will need to rent a vehicle or utilize a chauffeur. I opted for a chauffeur for $320.00 round trip, which Casey helped me coordinate through Kaptyn. Super glad I chose that option because no way in hell would I have found the place if I drove myself lol. The experience itself is such an adrenaline rush. Ground shooting is a blast. Shot a sniper rifle a few times and it was LIT. Be advised that you should definitely purchase extra ammo for the helicopter experience because it does go fast. I would recommend purchasing the video package as well. Overall great experience and I look forward to coming back again next year. read more

Ok.... this is where I lose my normally professional demeanor, and regress to my highschool self, when First Blood had already come out, and my group of friends were eagerly waiting for the release of Rambo. ALL I HEARD IN MY HEAD was the soundtrack to Rambo as I gripped that machine gun, and shot out the side of the helicopter. I even posted the videos they provided, dubbed them with the Rambo theme, on both Tiktok and Instagram. That's right. This experience is for every guy that fantasized about being Rambo, but simply didn't have the opportunity to join the military, or work on a movie set. This..... was.... the .... SHIZNIT! I purchased a package for around $600, which included 100 rounds for the helicopter gun, the purple smoke grenade for my action slow-mo video, and for the video inside the helicopter, which is shot from 4 different professional angles. Once I was at the venue, I opted for another 300 rounds, because if you know anything about machine guns, they go through ammo SUPER fast. Seconds! 300 rounds got me about a good minute of shooting time, but ran me another $600. WELL WORTH the video alone! (I got 10,000 likes the first 7 hours on Tiktok). Everyone working there is a pro. I loved these guys, and am looking forward to trying all the other stuff they offer. I'll definitely come here with my bachelor party pals! HUGE recommend! read more

This was by far one of the best experiences I ever had while in Nevada. I was nervous going in to it but with all the lessons and conversations I was so comfortable when the time came. Gunship Helicopters is gun range meets the sky. It's an aerial shooting experience to be specific. Gunship helicopters picks you up from your hotel on the strip and takes you to Sandy Valley, NV where the experience happens. It was about a 45 min drive from the Vegas strip. Christopher was our driver and he was kind. Upon arrival we had to fill out some waivers and take a lesson on all the dos and donts for the activity. The helicopters they use are pretty small. There was four of us. My partner , the pilot , the instructor and me. I got in strapped the seatbelt on and once we were in the sky I aimed towards the target and started shooting. It was the most exhilarating experience ever. I promise no animals or humans were injured during this experience. The experience is roughly $550 per shooter for the door gunner package. That package includes 100 rounds per shooter. You can always upgrade for more rounds or choose a different package which will have different features. In addition to the aerial shooting there is an opportunity for some ground shooting as well for an additional cost. The entire experience including travel is about 4-5 hrs. Depends on how many other parties are there shooting. Also keep in mind Gunship only provides transportation for groups of 3 or more. So if you're a duo you have to provide your own transportation and Uber doesn't go to that part of the desert. Definitely worth the experience if you're looking for something to do other than hit the casinos while in Vegas. read more

When I discovered Gun Ship Helicopters I knew I had to take my father out for an experience of a lifetime. What I didn't realize was how much history he had regarding it. It started out loaded in a van, picked up at the Cosmopolitan where I set them up to stay, & driven all the way out to the facilities on the border of California & Nevada. Deep in the desert on the Nevada side, in one of the few states honoring our freedoms. After safety demonstrations, we headed to the range to shoot an automatic MP5, automatic M4A1, silenced automatic AK-47, & two shots each from the Barrett M82A1 50 caliber sniper rifle. My dad landed 1/2 & I scored 2/2 as a sniper, guess I was born with apocalyptic skills right? Even though it's supposed to be super reliable yet inaccurate we both didn't like the AK. It just felt cheap. Next was the helicopter experience with the additional smoke grenade photo opportunity I added. Yes, I wanted the perfect shot. Before our turns to fly & shoot the M249 SAW out the side, my dad shared the most amazing story with the veterans. During the Vietnam war draft, it was common knowledge that shorter men would be handed explosives & told to run into the underground tunnels. This was death for nearly all of them. If you elected your position & signed up early they would place you where you desired. For my father, he wanted to hang out the side of a Huey helicopter blasting a machine gun with roaring Jimi Hendrix on the speakers. By the grace of God, he won the lottery during the draft. This meant the last four of his SSN were selected & he never had to go. Now you know why I'm here. I've never heard that story from my father. I just planned this for him because I knew he would love it, & I wanted to set the bar extremely high for experiences for my siblings. This bucket list experience was worth every penny. I expected us to have fun, bring us closer together, but it also deepened my respect for & my pro-gun 2nd amendment beliefs. If you're looking for a one-of-a-kind experience this is it. I can't wait to do it again! I'm beyond grateful I was able to experience this with my dad. read more

Flying through the desert in a chopper as a Door Gunner firing hundreds of rounds from a M249 SAW, I feel like this review writes itself. Incredible feeling as you see the landscape wind in your face and circling the terrain. They picked us up from our hotel (MGM) and did a great job of making us feel welcome. I have experience with long rifle and handguns but being from LA we don't get to enjoy the full auto perks of range trips too often. This one topped them all. After our time up in the air we pumped a few hundred more rounds through the ak-47, mp5 and 50 cal. Thank you GH for the highlight of our vegas trip! Also the camera footage they supply with the battle buddy package is awesome with multiple angles. Epic! read more

The place is really cool. The experience is great but Tom was a real downer. He didn't make the experience any fun and ruined it in the end. Very unnecessary. We won't be back for sure. Also ruined a $300 tire on the way up there. It's not a gravel road it's big rocks. Very annoying. read more

It was fun but I think really overpriced and way to far outside of Vegas. The road to get there you need an SUV otherwise you will mess up your ride. The helicopter tour with 200 rounds lasted maybe 5 min. So for an hour drive it's over quickly. The staff in the helicopter was really cool and fun. The guy who gives you the instructions makes the whole experience a bit of a bummer. Yea it's dangerous stuff you're dealing with but lighten up Sargent Tom. Don't ruin an a 5 minute $800 experience for us because you take yourself soooo serious. read more

If you are looking for an ultimate adventure in Las Vegas - this is it! If you want some adrenaline, no need to put yourself or others in danger, no need even to invade other countries!!! Come to the desert just an hour away from Vegas and shoot all the guns you want, even from a helicopter! The Barette .50 caliber impressed me most. As a fragile girl, I was a bit worried about a recoil but I could handle it nicely, and even hit the target!!! I think it's good to have some previous experience with the guns, however the guys who work there are true professionals. They operate in a safe environment and give clear instructions. read more

Seriously one of the greatest shooting experiences I've ever had, 100% worth every penny, and something I'm going to tell/show my future kids. Every one in the crew was accommodating, safe, knowledgeable and very friendly. Highly recommended to anyone with a pulse. Everyone I have shown that footage to has been blown away, and I have encouraged everyone to go. Some people want to sky dive, some people want to drive an exotic car on a track, and some people want to shoot a mounted machine gun from a helicopter, and I speak for the latter, it is amongst one of the greatest experiences of my lifetime. read more

Safety is definitely a high priority for Gunship Helicopters. They also have other choices of firearms to shoot. Barrett .50 cal. and a hand full of full-auto rifles. Steel targets set up along the hill side and a few broken planes staged to keep stuff interesting I will definitely do this again. And highly recommend the experience. read more

To begin, outstanding customer service. Their salesperson named Casey is so kind, so sweet and so enthusiastic. I was so satisfied with his service solely over the phone alone that I was sad about not meeting him in person. We had Chris pick us up from the hotel and he also gave friendly service and is very much a people's person. Franco and Tom were so funny and made the experience safe and of course fun. The entire staff was very friendly and helpful. The overall experience from the helicopter to the ground shooting is AMAZING. It's an experience u can't really write about because u have to physical experience it in person. I recommend if you go, to do both air and ground shooting. It's worth every penny you spend. read more

This place was absolutely amazing! Wonderful staff made the visit well worth it, as well as an unforgettable time doing all of the activities laid out for us in the time we had. We did the m249 SAW from the helicopter including the video taken from the on board cameras. This was a phenomenal experience, and then we did a ground package with Battlefield Vegas, where we shot a Barrett .50, minigun, .50 machine gun, and drove an APC. This was an unforgettable experience for me and my family, and we cannot wait to come out again. Before you do come however, I personally recommend prior shooting experience. Understanding proper eye relief makes the difference in this type of outing. read more
