Indoor Shooting Game Machines: Buyer's Guide for FEC & Arcade Operators
Indoor shooting game machines are one of the highest-engagement attractions in arcades, family entertainment centers (FECs), and game rooms. This guide covers the two main types available from Hiclawcrane, what they cost, and how to choose the right setup for your venue.
Two Types of Indoor Shooting Game Machines
Type 1: Real Archery Shooting Lane
Players use real bows and arrows in a controlled indoor lane environment. Each lane is self-contained and designed for safe, supervised play. This is the closest experience to real archery available in a commercial arcade setting.
- Best for: FECs, entertainment venues, sports-themed arcades, team-building venues
- Player format: 1 player per lane (each lane is independent)
- Price: Approximately ¥13,000 RMB per lane (factory-direct from Hiclawcrane)
- Voltage: AC 110–240V — worldwide compatible
- Appeal: Novelty factor is extremely high; few venues offer real archery indoors
Type 2: Plastic Bullet Gun Shooting Machine
Players use a gun that fires plastic bullets at targets. Lower barrier to entry, faster play cycles, and suitable for a wider age range than real archery.
- Best for: Game rooms, shopping mall arcades, family entertainment centers, children's venues
- Player format: 1 player per lane
- Price: Approximately ¥13,000 RMB per lane (factory-direct from Hiclawcrane)
- Voltage: AC 110–240V — worldwide compatible
- Appeal: Fast-paced, high replay value, suitable for children and adults
