Feel the adrenaline rush as you fire an AK-47 or pump-action shotgun under expert supervision at Gdańsk’s shooting range. With private hotel pickup and all equipment included, you’ll get hands-on time with iconic firearms and take home your own target as a memento — plus plenty of laughs along the way.
The first thing that struck me was the echo — sharp, metallic, reverberating off the walls as someone fired before us. We had just arrived at the shooting range in Gdańsk (our driver quietly pointed out historic shipyard buildings along the way, which I appreciated). The air inside smelled like oil mixed with something spicy — probably gunpowder. I had never held a real firearm before. My hands felt awkward when our instructor handed me the AK-47. He smiled and said, “Don’t worry, everyone’s nervous.” That put me at ease more than I expected.
We started slowly. Our instructor — Piotr, who spoke English but often slipped into Polish when excited — showed us how to stand and aim properly. When I squeezed the trigger on the Mossberg shotgun, my shoulder jolted back sharply. It was loud enough to make me flinch even with ear protection on. My friend tried the Glock next to me and laughed at how small it felt compared to the shotgun. At the end, you get to keep your paper target; mine looked like abstract art (not exactly intentional). Still, there’s something oddly satisfying about seeing those holes you made yourself.
I didn’t expect to enjoy it this much. The whole experience felt safe but relaxed — Piotr kept cracking jokes about Polish action movies (which apparently are a thing?). On the ride back to our hotel, we compared shoulder bruises and debated who had better aim. If you’re seeking a unique day trip in Gdańsk beyond museums or amber shops, this is it. Just remember your ID — they do check it.
