Feel the rush of adrenaline firing an AK-47 or pump-action shotgun under expert guidance at Gdańsk’s shooting range. With private hotel pickup and all gear included, you’ll handle legendary firearms firsthand and leave with your own target as a keepsake — plus plenty of laughs along the way.
The first thing that struck me was the echo — sharp, metallic, bouncing off the walls as someone fired before us. We had just arrived at the shooting range in Gdańsk (our driver quietly pointed out old shipyard landmarks along the way, which I appreciated). The air inside smelled of oil and something spicy — probably gunpowder? I’d 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 eased my nerves more than I expected.
We began slowly. Our instructor — Piotr, who spoke English but occasionally slipped into Polish when excited — showed us how to stand and aim properly. When I fired the Mossberg shotgun, my shoulder jolted back sharply. It was so loud I flinched despite wearing ear protection. My friend tried the Glock next to me and laughed at how small it felt after the shotgun. You get to keep your paper target at the end; mine looked like abstract art (not exactly intentional). Still, there’s something strangely satisfying about seeing the holes you made yourself.
I didn’t expect to enjoy it as much as I did. The entire experience felt safe yet relaxed — Piotr kept cracking jokes about Polish action movies (which apparently exist?). On the drive back to our hotel, we compared shoulder bruises and debated who had better aim. If you want a unique day trip in Gdańsk beyond museums or amber shops, this is it. Just don’t forget your ID — they do check.
