Gdansk: Private Shooting Range Experience with Hotel Pickup

Summary

Fire iconic guns in Gdansk with transfers & local instructors

You’ll feel that first jolt of adrenaline as you fire an AK-47 or pump-action shotgun under expert guidance in Gdansk’s shooting range. With private hotel pickup and all gear included, you’ll get hands-on time with legendary firearms and leave with your own target as proof — plus a few laughs along the way.

What’s the experience like?

The first thing I noticed was the echo — sharp, metallic, bouncing off the walls as someone fired before us. We’d just pulled up outside the shooting range in Gdansk (our driver had this quiet way of pointing out old shipyard buildings on the way, which I liked). The air inside smelled like oil and something almost spicy — gunpowder, maybe? I’d never held a real gun before. My hands felt clumsy when our instructor handed me the AK-47. He grinned and said, “Don’t worry, everyone’s nervous.” That helped more than I expected.

We started slow. The instructor — Piotr, who spoke English but kept slipping into Polish when he got excited — showed us how to stand and aim. There was this moment when I squeezed the trigger on the Mossberg shotgun and my whole shoulder jolted back. It was loud enough that I flinched even with ear protection on. My friend tried the Glock next to me and laughed at how tiny it felt after the shotgun. You get to keep your paper target at the end; mine looked like modern art (not in a good way). Still, there’s something weirdly satisfying about seeing those holes you made yourself.

I didn’t expect to enjoy it as much as I did. The whole thing felt safe but not stiff — Piotr kept cracking jokes about Polish action movies (which apparently are a thing?). On the drive back to our hotel, we compared bruises on our shoulders and argued about who had better aim. If you’re looking for a day trip in Gdansk that’s different from museums or amber shops, this is it. Just remember to bring your ID — they actually check.
