Located in Grapevine, Texas, just northwest of Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas Gun Experience offers a rare hands-on encounter with belt-fed automatic machine guns. This isn’t your typical range session: here, visitors can customize their shooting adventure by selecting from 1 to 5 fully automatic belt-fed firearms, each delivering an adrenaline-pumping burst of controlled power.

Grapevine itself sits within a landscape known for its rolling Texas plains and proximity to well-trafficked outdoor sports hubs. While the city is famed for its wine trails and historic downtown, Texas Gun Experience adds an invigorating edge for adventure seekers craving hands-on engagement with firearms that are hard to find elsewhere in the region. The facility provides a secure and professionally managed environment where safety comes first — experienced Range Safety Officers equip every shooter with ear and eye protection and guide each step of the session.
The real highlight is the flexibility of the Pick and Shoot Package. You can choose from a selection of classic belt-fed machine guns, each with its own history and feel. From the thunderous clatter of the M60 to other legendary rifles available that showcase American firearm engineering, this experience connects participants directly with a piece of shooting heritage. It’s perfect for individuals or groups wanting an energizing outing outside the typical Texas recreational scene.
