AK-47 Shooting Experience Prague: Prices, Package & Booking Guide
Tour Overview
The AK-47 shooting experience is a private, door-to-door tour built around the world’s most iconic assault rifle. A dedicated vehicle collects you from your Prague hotel, takes you to an indoor shooting range, and returns you afterward — making this one of the most hassle-free ways to fire real weapons in Prague.
The experience centres on the AK-47 Kalashnikov — the most widely produced firearm in history, known for its unmistakable silhouette, heavy 7.62mm recoil, and legendary reliability. But you don’t just shoot the AK-47: the “Triple X” package pairs it with a Glock 17 pistol (the world’s most popular handgun) and a pump-action or semi-automatic shotgun, giving you three distinctly different shooting experiences in one session.
What makes this tour stand out from the larger multi-gun packages at RANGER Prague or Prague Armory is the simplicity and exclusivity. There’s one package, one clear price, and your group gets the entire experience to themselves. No choosing between six packages, no shared groups — just you, three iconic weapons, and a professional instructor.

Firearms
The Triple X package features three iconic firearms — each representing a different weapon category and shooting style:
| Firearm | Type | Calibre | Shots | What to Expect |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| AK-47 Kalashnikov | Assault Rifle | 7.62×39 mm | 10 | Heavy recoil, loud, the signature weapon of this experience |
| Glock 17 | Semi-Auto Pistol | 9×19 mm | 15 | Light, accurate, easiest to handle — great for building confidence |
| Pump-Action Shotgun | Shotgun | 12 Gauge | 5 | Biggest physical kick, satisfying pump action between shots |
About the AK-47
The AK-47 (Avtomat Kalashnikova model 1947) is the world’s most widely produced firearm, with an estimated 100 million units manufactured. Designed by Mikhail Kalashnikov for the Soviet army, it’s known for its extreme reliability, heavy 7.62mm recoil, and distinctive appearance. Firing an AK-47 is a bucket-list experience for many visitors to Prague — the recoil is substantial, the sound is deafening even with ear protection, and the muzzle flash is visible with every shot. This is the weapon most people come for.
About the Glock 17
The Glock 17 is the world’s most popular semi-automatic pistol, standard-issue for police and military forces in over 50 countries. Light, accurate, and easy to handle, it’s the ideal starting weapon for beginners. You get 15 shots with the Glock — more than any other weapon in the package — giving you plenty of time to build your confidence and improve your groupings before moving to the bigger guns.
About the Shotgun
The pump-action (or semi-auto) shotgun delivers the most physical recoil of the three weapons. At 12 gauge, the shoulder kick is significant — and the satisfying pump action between shots makes this feel like a movie experience. Five shots is enough to feel the power without overwhelming your shoulder.
What to Expect
Hotel Pickup
A private air-conditioned vehicle with WiFi collects you from any address in Prague. Simply provide your pickup address when booking on Viator. Four daily time slots are available: 10:00 AM, 12:00 PM, 2:00 PM, and 4:00 PM. The driver takes you directly to the indoor shooting range.
Safety Briefing
On arrival, your English-speaking instructor delivers a comprehensive safety briefing covering stance, grip, aiming, trigger control, and range etiquette. The instruction is tailored to your experience level — whether you’ve never touched a firearm or you’re an experienced shooter. All safety equipment is provided.
The Shooting Session (30–45 minutes)
You’ll typically start with the Glock 17 — the lightest and most manageable weapon — to build your confidence and get comfortable with the basics. Next comes the AK-47, the main event: the heavy 7.62mm recoil, the loud report, and the distinctive rattle make this the most memorable part of the experience. Finally, the shotgun rounds off the session with the most physical kick of the three weapons.
Your instructor stays with you throughout, adjusting your grip, stance, and technique with each weapon. This is a fully private experience — only your group is at the range during your session, so you can take your time, ask questions, and enjoy it at your own pace.
Return Transfer
After shooting, your driver returns you to your hotel or any address in Prague. The total experience lasts approximately 3 hours from pickup to drop-off, with the shooting itself taking around 30–45 minutes. A bottle of water is provided for the journey.
Location & Transport
The private transfer is one of the standout features of this experience. Unlike walk-in ranges where you navigate public transport, here the vehicle comes to you. The driver handles everything — you just need to be ready at your hotel at the scheduled time. Near public transportation for those who prefer to arrange their own travel.
Practical Information
Visitor Tips
- This is the best option if you specifically want to shoot an AK-47 without choosing between complex multi-tier packages. One price, one package, private pickup — simple.
- The Glock 17 gets the most shots (15) — use it to build confidence. By the time you pick up the AK-47, you’ll be much more comfortable with your stance and trigger control.
- The AK-47 has significant recoil. Plant your feet shoulder-width apart, lean slightly forward, and grip firmly. Your instructor will position you correctly.
- Wear a high-collared top. The AK-47 ejects brass casings forcefully — they can land on exposed skin around your neck and chest.
- Book the 10:00 AM slot to get the experience done early, leaving the rest of the day free for Prague sightseeing — Prague Castle, Charles Bridge, and the Old Town are all easy to reach after.
- The 4:00 PM slot pairs well with dinner plans afterward — your driver drops you back at your hotel with time to freshen up before heading out.
- For stag parties: this is a great starter experience before a night out. The 3-hour format leaves plenty of evening time for pubs and clubs.
- If you finish and want more, ask about adding extra rounds or weapons on the spot. Many ranges allow upgrades once you’re there.
- If you want more guns (5–10 weapons), consider the RANGER Prague packages or Prague Armory all-inclusive instead — they offer more variety at a higher price point.
