Looking for a unique activity to share with friends and guests they will remember for a lifetime?

ACME Ammo Machine Gun Adventures in Bradford provides an adrenaline rush that can’t be beat. At their private outdoor range, you can experience the pulse-pounding thrill of full automatic shooting as you fire some of the world’s most advanced military and anti-terrorist weapons.

Several packages are available, including: Urban Assault, Super Spy, Gamer, Battle of the Bulge, D-Day and Extreme.

When you choose the D-Day package, for example, you get to fire a Colt 1911 semi-automatic pistol with 4 seven-round mags, an M-1 Garand rifle with 4 eight-round clips, and a Thompson submachine gun with 2 twenty-five round mags.

The Extreme package is intended for the hard to please. You get to try Dirty Harry’s Smith & Wesson 44 Magnum before getting serious with a couple of belt-fed full-auto machine guns capable of clearing a tree line.

You can also create your own custom package of weapons, or choose individual weapons. Semi-automatic hand guns and rifles start at just $10, while heavy-duty belt-fed guns set for full auto start at $100.

Acme Ammo provides a safe, controlled shooting environment. You will receive safety training and get the opportunity to familiarize yourself with the weapons of your choice before heading out to the range for an afternoon of shooting fun. No gun permit is required — all you need is a valid photo ID.

The range is available from April through October. To book your machine gun adventure, call Acme Ammo at 814-362-4149 or visit their website.
