Private Kalashnikov Shooting Tour

The Kalashnikov Shooting Tour captures the main essence of it – useful and simple. With a hotel pick up and drop off at any time during the day, you need some 20-30 minutes to get to the private shooting range on the outskirts of Kyiv. No museum fairy tales. First learn about the history, use of, and how to handle this extremely efficient rifle made by Mikhail Kalashnikov. With a design of over 70 years old, you will be impressed by the power and simplicity of this assault rifle, which became a symbol of the Soviet Union. A disassemble and instructor showcase/demonstration is just the start. With 10 rounds on a 50 meter distance, with the instructor yelling behind you, you feel like a real soldier in training. The feeling of pulling the trigger, feeling the “kick” of the rifle on your shoulder, hearing the shot and seeing you have hit the target is hard to describe, but you will be amazed. Ten times. After you are done, you will be able to use any Kalashnikov for defence (we hope you will never have to). If 10 rounds are not enough, feel free to buy more at 1 bullet = 3 euro.

To take your Kalashnikov experience to another level, ChernobylX has added two more weapons each with 10 rounds for you to try included in the price of the tour. First a shotgun (over a shorter distance: 10-20 meters) will give you a touch of the most efficient defence in home security, with the strength to stop an attacker by a handful of bullets in one shot. Second, a very special working sniper rifle from the 2nd World War called, Mosina, will leave you speechless…and maybe a little bruised on your shoulder as well.

You will be astonished by it’s firepower, sound and accuracy. No wonder Soviet snipers had become legends, like the near-Kyiv-born “Lady Death,” Lyudmila Pavlichenko. We cannot guarantee you will become a legend as well, and while we can guarantee that this tour will not make you just a stronger man or woman, it will provide you with moments that you will never forget and memories that will always raise your adrenaline levels.

Before you leave the shooting range, let’s take a selfie photo session together with the paper targets that are the only one material souvenir you can take back home from your shooting experience in Ukraine. The Kalashnikov tour is one of the favourite additional experiences to add to your Chernobyl tour while you are in Kyiv.
