As Rog pointed out, our progression from Airsoft to Paintball & now real guns foretell the next step up can only come in the form of Rocket Launchers!
Damn that was fun! Yo General, u missed out big time, perhaps you'll be back in time for our next session, Shotguns, Rifles, & the Joker gun AKA a Smith & Wesson .45 - BANG BANG!!!

We rented a Beretta 9mm, a Glock 40mm (or was it a .22???), & a Colt .45. They all performed differently due to their unique characteristics. Take the massive weight of the Colt vs the very light but powerful Glock. The recoil on the Colt was less than the Glock, & what a trigger! The Beretta was ok, I guess, good for beginners...? I hope they have a Desert Eagle for next time! For the three gun rentals, plenty of ammo, targets, & range time our total bill came to about $45 each. Not exactly a bargain, but well worth it for a first time shooting frenzy...

Firing a pistol is a powerful experience, perhaps not the adrenaline rush I expected, but you develop a newfound respect for steel, gunpowder & the ingenuity of human engineering.
Setting the entertainment value aside though, I think learning how to safely & accurately use a firearm may come in handy if you were to, (but hopefully not ever), find yourself in a situation where you would be forced to use one.

This establishment could not have been set up any better, clean, well lit, with a friendly, informative, & passionate staff. You don't feel like someone is breathing down your neck about regulations & rules, yet you feel completely safe knowing the staff has a full view of the range & all within. If I must think of a negative comment it has to be the location, it makes you want to buy a gun before you leave as you very well could use it to fend off potential gang bangers, thugs & car jackers I suspect roam this area of Los Angeles. BUT don't let that scare you, this is a must for anyone who's ever had an itchy trigger finger...
