Shooting Arcade Games

A shooting arcade game turns a game room, bar or family entertainment center into a place people want to stay a little longer. Players pick up a gun, aim at the screen or the targets, and get instant feedback from hits, scores and lights. This collection covers coin-operated gun cabinets for one to four players, kids' target games and a large multi-player shooting gallery, priced from $1,490 to $25,990, with free shipping to the United States and Canada.

Find the right shooting arcade game for your space

Start with the footprint and the number of players you want to host at once. A compact two-player cabinet fits against a wall in a basement game room, while a four-player shooting simulator or a multi-player shooting gallery needs open floor in front of it for a small group to stand, aim and watch. Check the dimensions listed on each product page, measure doorways and stairwells on the delivery path, and leave room behind the players for friends waiting their turn.

Price follows size and complexity. Kids' target games and single-screen shooters sit at the lower end of this collection, starting at $1,490, while most two-player video cabinets fall between about $2,290 and $6,990. Four-player simulators and the multi-player shooting gallery, which reaches $25,990, are built for venues that expect a steady line of players all evening. Deciding on size and player count first keeps the rest of the choice simple.

If you are torn between two models, think about how often more than two people will want to play at the same time. In a family game room, a two-player cabinet covers most nights. In a bar or party venue, every extra gun means one more guest playing instead of waiting, and that usually matters more than any single feature on the spec sheet.

Gun cabinets, target games and kids' shooters

Video gun games are the classic arcade shooting game format: players hold mounted guns and fire at the action on screen, from alien attacks to frozen worlds and robot battles. Several models are built for two players side by side, one cabinet seats three, and the four-player simulator turns a single game into a shared session. There is also a 3-in-1 shooting machine and a cabinet with a 10-inch touchscreen.

• Two-, three- and four-player video gun cabinets
• A multi-player shooting gallery for busy venues
• A balloon shooting machine that inflates its own targets
• A two-player water shooting game
• Kids' ball shooters, a train shooter and a robot laser game

Physical target games add something a screen cannot. The balloon shooting machine inflates balloons automatically for players to pop, and ball shooter machines with LED or digital score displays are a natural fit for younger players. A metal-built LED ball shooter, a dual-gun machine and a train-themed shooter round out the lower-priced options for family spaces, birthday party rooms and arcades that serve kids.

Why shooting arcade games work so well in commercial venues

A shooting arcade game explains itself from across the room. The guns, the screen and the sound tell people exactly what to do, so there is no learning curve and no staff time spent explaining rules. Short rounds keep the line moving, and multi-player machines let groups play together, which is what bars, bowling centers, family entertainment centers and party venues want: more people having fun per square foot of floor.

Coin-operated models are designed for that setting. Players pay per game, so the machine can earn on its own, and visible scoring encourages a second round when a friend posts a higher number. Group games are also easy to tie into parties and events, because a four-player round gives a whole table something to do together while they wait for food or lanes.

For operators planning a game floor, one large multi-player shooter paired with a few compact two-player cabinets gives the room a centerpiece and enough capacity for busy nights. Kids' target games can sit nearby to keep younger guests busy while older players take on the full-size machines, so one area serves the whole family. Grouping shooters together also builds a sense of occasion, because the lights and sound of several machines draw people over from the rest of the venue.

Commercial features to consider before buying

Look at the player count, the screen and the coin system first. Most machines in this collection are coin operated, which matters for venues that want each game to pay for itself and for homeowners who like the authentic feel of dropping a coin into the slot. Check whether the product title lists an HD screen, a touchscreen, a digital score display, LED lighting or a metal build, since those details shape how the machine looks and holds up in a busy room.

Power is the other practical detail. Every electric machine we sell is available in 110V for standard US outlets or 220V where your space calls for it, so choose the right option at checkout. Each machine is covered by a 1-year warranty against manufacturing defects and performance issues, which gives venue owners and home buyers the same protection whichever model they choose.

Home game room buyers should plan for space and comfort

In a home, a shooting arcade machine often becomes the one everyone gathers around during parties and family nights. Plan where players will stand and which way the screen will face, since glare from a window can make targets harder to see. Placing it near the rest of your game room keeps the energy in one spot, and a dedicated outlet close by avoids extension cords running across the floor.

Think about sound as well. Arcade shooters are meant to be loud and exciting, so a basement, garage conversion or bonus room works better than a space next to a bedroom. Leave a little extra room around multi-player cabinets so players are not bumping elbows, and keep a clear path for the delivery, since full-size cabinets arrive as large, heavy pieces.

You can spread the cost of a full-size cabinet with Shop Pay installments or PayPal Pay Later at checkout. That makes it easier to plan a game room project around a single centerpiece machine now and add smaller games later, without waiting until the whole budget is saved. Because shipping, taxes and import duties are already in the price, the number you see is the number you plan around.

Match the machine to your players

Younger players do well with simple target games. Ball shooters, the train shooter and the cute two-player cabinet are quick to understand and satisfying to play. Teens and adults usually want video gun games with more action on screen and head-to-head scoring, which is where the two-player and three-player cabinets shine. Households with mixed ages can choose one two-player model with bright visuals that both groups enjoy.

Venues that host groups, such as party centers, bars and event spaces, get the most from four-player simulators and the multi-player shooting gallery. More guns per game means more people playing at once and shorter waits. If your audience changes during the day, from families in the afternoon to adults at night, a mix of kids' target games and full-size video shooters covers both crowds.
