Battlefield Vegas has an 11-lane indoor shooting range and a 25-acre desert area for outdoor shooting. Primarily employing veterans, it owns a collection of about 750 firearms, 550 of which are automatic. The firearms were produced by nearly all member states of NATO and had been used in wars beginning from World War I. The museum showcases decommissioned tanks and helicopters in its yard. The company allows customers to maneuver a tank to crush a car. It sells shooting experiences named after and inspired by war films like Platoon and Saving Private Ryan and video games like Call of Duty's Black Ops and Modern Warfare series. Battlefield Vegas primarily caters to tourists instead of to locals.
