The selection of rental firearms is extremely limited, with many display models not available for rent. While the listed prices seem low, there are significant hidden costs. I only incurred $40 for the gun rental and $80 for ammunition, yet my final bill was $200. It was a really bad experience—the pricing is as steep as California.

Muito bom em vários aspetos. O processo não é excessivamente burocrático e nota-se uma grande preocupação com a segurança. O monitor foi muito simpático, atencioso e profissional, e o preço pareceu-me perfeitamente adequado. Outro ponto muito positivo é permitirem a utilização por estrangeiros, nomeadamente europeus, que encontram aqui uma oportunidade simples e acessível para experimentar, de forma segura e acompanhada, o uso de armas de fogo, algo que lhes é geralmente impedido na Europa, nomeadamente em Portugal.

Went to Applied Ballistics today with my 19yr old daughter and a couple of her friends. We had the best time. Otis was the perfect host-- 3 of us had never used a gun before but Otis was very patient and extremely thorough. The prices were quite reasonable and we are definitely planning to return. All of the staff were very nice. I really can't say enough positive things. If you're thinking about going, don't hesitate-- GO!
