A friend, whom works at the Department of Homeland Security, recommended that I check out American Shooters located in Las Vegas, Nevada. Unlike all the tourist traps in Las Vegas this facility was nicely tucked away from the strip. While the range & store has seen its share of tourists the staff is friendly to people from all walks of life.
Speaking with "Von" a worker at the American Shooter store people come with either a ton of experience (i.g., Military, Law Enforcement) to the new shooter with little to no experience. The nice thing about having a range next door, Von told me, is that customers can go shoot the weapon before they make a purchase or go shoot the weapon after they've made their purchase. I had a great conversation with some of the staff and could see that they were committed to deliver excellence customer service. I was surprised (or not surprised really) to also learn that a handful of the employee's were former California residents. It was also very comforting to learn that some of the staff also come from a Military/LE background.
Not to mention their wide-array of product diversity just inside the store. Not only where there many weapon systems available and on display but they had accessories that seemed to go on rack after rack. I found this a great opportunity to pick up a pair of Surefire EP3-M earpro and an HSGI War belt.
After walking the store I entered the range were I found a very nicely kept range with ample RSO (range safety officers). Each employee was clearly designated by a red polo shirt, life vest (bullet proof vest), and holstered weapon. Only display were rental weapons ranging from your standard AR, SMG's, LMG, to older belt fed MG's. Talking with the range staff I could see that wanted to educate shooters and ensure proper safety procedures were followed. There was also no shortage of shooting lanes as there were other shooters on the range but it did not feel overcrowded.
I decided to shoot the Kriss Super V as I had never seen one in person let alone shot one before. After its Future Weapons debut I followed the weapon closely especially after I heard that KWA was producing one. I saw this opportunity as a way of trying one before the Airsoft version made it's way into my hands.
Overall Range/Store rating: 10/10
Id recommend this place to any in the area looking to do some shooting, educate themselves on weapons, purchase new gear, or to enter into any of their regular shooting competitions. The level of professionalism and focus on customer service at American Shooters is something many ranges should attempt to emulate. I will make sure on my return to the area I will make another visit.

As you can see the weapon shoots fast and is very controlable. I only hope that KWA's version maintains this. After shooting the real steel counter-part it will be safe to say that I will probably try to get the Airsoft version.
KWA - Hurry up and finish up the Airsoft Super V and put down the K10 =)
