(Uvalde, Texas) - When I was a kid playing with my toys, I always wondered what it would be like to drive and shoot a tank for real. My imagination would sure run wild thinking about it. I never thought that doing that would be a real thing I could do.

Over the weekend during a doom scrolling session, I stumbled upon drivetanks.com. It's a huge ranch in Uvalde where you can drive a tank, shoot a tank, wield a flamethrower and much more. You'll need to save up to visit, though.

Driving a Tank for Real in Texas

I'm getting married in September. I wish I could've seen this sooner because it would be an awesome bachelor party (drivetanks.com). I mean, driving around in a tank, running over a car, stopping to aim at a car and shoot it from the tank, dude, that would be so much fun.

It's more than tanks, too. You can wield a flamethrower, shoot big guns like a German 7.5cm PaK or even fire an RPG. There's even various machine guns available to shoot. These weapons and tanks come from different countries and different eras, too.

Cost of Driving a Tank or Shooting a Gun

As you can imagine, it's not cheap. Packages go as high as $3,500 and it'll set you back $4,500 to fire one RPG round. Start planning ahead if you and the guys want to head to Uvalde to drive and shoot a tank.
