If you’re considering trying out a firearm experience in Florida, the Modern Warrior Firearm Experience at Outpost Range is one of those activities that can be both fun and educational. It’s designed to appeal to a wide range of people, whether you’ve never held a gun before or you’re comfortable with shooting. What sets this apart is its focus on modern firearms seen in video games, paired with professional guidance that makes the experience accessible and safe.
Two things we particularly like about this tour are the expert instruction from friendly professionals and the variety of firearms you get to try—especially the Glock 19, AR-15, and AK-47. These are guns that many people recognize from movies or video games, making the experience more engaging. One potential downside? If you’re not comfortable with the idea of shooting firearms, or if you’re searching for a more immersive outdoor adventure, this indoor experience might feel a bit limited. But for those interested in a safe, straightforward introduction, it works well.

What to Expect from the Modern Warrior Firearm Experience
The tour kicks off with a quick safety briefing, so even if you’re new to firearms, you’ll quickly feel comfortable. The staff at Outpost Range keeps things friendly and professional, making sure everyone understands how to handle the weapons safely. The emphasis here is on making this accessible, so you won’t find any intimidating attitude—just knowledgeable guidance.
The first firearm you’ll get to shoot is the Glock 19, a pistol many military and police units use, and which is famous for its reliability. You’ll fire 25 rounds with a red dot optic, which helps new shooters aim more accurately. Watching reviews, it’s clear that many people appreciated the instructor’s patience and helpful tips—one reviewer called their guide “literally amazing,” noting how helpful and knowledgeable they were.
Next up is the AR-15, a semi-automatic rifle similar to the M-4 used by most of today’s military forces. You’ll fire 20 rounds with a TRS-26 red dot optic, which makes aiming straightforward. The AR-15 is often praised for its accuracy and versatility, so this part of the experience is a highlight for shooting enthusiasts. You’ll get to appreciate the semi-automatic firing and the way the gun feels in your hands.
Finally, there’s the AK-47, a rifle recognized worldwide and used by over 106 countries. This rifle is known for its ruggedness and power, firing 20 rounds of 7.62×39 caliber ammunition. Shooting this weapon gives you a sense of its robustness, even if you’re just doing it for fun. The experience wraps up after about an hour and a half, leaving you with a memorable taste of modern firearms.

What Makes This Experience Stand Out
One of the aspects our readers often mention is the professionalism of the guides. The reviewer, Maranda, called the instructor “literally amazing,” highlighting their knowledge and helpfulness. This kind of feedback suggests that you’ll be in good hands, especially if you’re new to shooting or nervous about safety.
The indoor setting is also a plus. You won’t have to worry about weather conditions, and the facilities are ADA compliant with clean restrooms, which adds to the overall comfort. The fact that all necessary safety equipment is included—eye protection and ear protection—takes away the hassle of bringing your own gear or worrying about safety.
Cost and Value Analysis
For $89 per person, this experience provides a lot of value. You’re getting instruction, access to three modern firearms, and ammunition for all of them. It’s a concentrated, one-and-a-half-hour session that gives you a taste of different guns, making it a reasonable price point for the experience. If you’re curious about firearms, or want a fun, guided activity without committing to much time or expense, it’s a solid choice.
Practical Details
The meeting point is Outpost Range in Lecanto, Florida, situated conveniently with proximity to public transportation options. You’ll want to bring a valid government ID or passport, and wear closed-toe shoes for safety.

Handling Weather and Cancellations
