You’ll feel the rush of firing real pistols and an AK-47 at a modern indoor shooting range in Warsaw—with guidance from local instructors who keep things friendly (and safe). Try five different firearms at various distances, soak up that metallic scent in the air, and maybe surprise yourself with how much fun you have.
Ever wondered what it actually feels like to fire an AK-47? I didn’t think I’d ever get the chance, but there we were—just outside the city center in Warsaw, walking into this indoor shooting range on Krakowiaków street. The place smelled faintly metallic, not unpleasant, almost like rain on train tracks. Our instructor, Piotr, had this calm way of explaining things—even when my hands shook a bit holding the first pistol (the CZ 75 kadet). He just grinned and said, “Don’t worry, everyone’s nervous the first time.” That helped more than I expected.
We tried out five different guns—starting small and working up. The Glock 17 had a heavier kick than I thought; my palms tingled after each shot. Then came the Colt 1911 (that one looked straight out of an old movie), and finally the AK-47 assault rifle. The sound echoed in my chest more than my ears. Piotr showed us how to stand so we wouldn’t topple over—he joked about “embracing your inner action hero,” which made us all laugh and relax a little. There was this moment between shots where everything went quiet except for someone reloading down the line. It felt weirdly peaceful.
I’ll admit—I wasn’t expecting to enjoy it as much as I did. I kept thinking about how normal everyone else seemed; there was even a grandma in the next lane who hit more bullseyes than me (not kidding). The whole experience was safe but never stiff or awkward. Even if you’ve never touched a gun before, you’re guided every step of the way. By the end, I could barely feel my arms from adrenaline and maybe nerves too—I still think about that first shot sometimes.
