Belgrade: Target Shooting

Travelers looking for something a bit different in Belgrade will find this target shooting activity a surprising and memorable choice. Whether you’ve never held a gun before or you’re looking to test your marksmanship skills, this tour offers a safe, professional environment to try your hand at firing real firearms. What makes it particularly appealing are the professional instruction and the convenience of hotel pickup and drop-off, which take some of the logistical hassle out of the experience.

Two things we especially like about this tour are the opportunity to practice with five different firearms, including iconic pistols and a submachine gun, and the fact that it’s tailored to be both fun and safe. The guides are praised for their knowledge and friendly approach, making even first-timers feel comfortable. On the flip side, a potential drawback is the limited number of bullets per gun, which means your shooting session might be brief for the price paid.

This activity suits curious travelers, adrenaline junkies, or anyone interested in trying something new and distinctly local. It’s perfect if you want a lively, hands-on experience that’s different from sightseeing — plus, it’s a memorable story to tell back home.

The Firearms Experience – What You’ll Actually Shoot

The core of this tour is trying your hand at five different firearms. You’ll start with three iconic pistols: the Glock 19, Zastava CZ 99, and Magnum .357. Each handgun holds a special place in firearm history—trust that you’ll be firing real guns with live ammunition, not airsoft or simulated versions. The Glock 19, trusted by security agencies worldwide, offers a modern, lightweight feel. The Zastava CZ 99, a staple of the Yugoslav military and police forces, adds a touch of local history. The Magnum .357 revolver, famously wielded by Clint Eastwood’s Harry Callahan, offers a classic shooting experience.

In addition, you’ll get to fire a Skorpion submachine gun — known for its compact size and automatic fire — and a Heckler & Koch firearm, adding a bit of extra thrill. The tour includes a set number of rounds per firearm: 5 for each pistol, 10 for the submachine gun, and 5 for the H&K, giving you a taste of what each weapon can do.

While the ammunition is included, additional rounds are available if you want to extend your shooting. The experience emphasizes safety and control, with noise-reducing ear muffs and protective goggles provided, which help you focus on your shot without worrying about the noise or debris.

What to Expect During the Session

We loved the way the safety measures are integrated into the experience. Participants are reminded repeatedly that alcohol and drugs are not permitted, and registration requires your passport, which keeps things secure and professional. The small group size ensures personalized attention, and reviews highlight the patience and kindness of the staff.

The actual shooting portion is quick but intense. Reviewers note that the few bullets per gun means your session might feel over fast — but that’s part of the design for safety and focus. One reviewer, Ian, mentioned, “be aware that you only get a few bullets per gun so it’s over very quickly,” which is a fair point for those who might hope for a longer shooting spree.

After firing your rounds, you’ll be transferred back to your accommodation, completing a hassle-free round trip. This makes it easy to integrate into a busy sightseeing day or as a standalone adventure.

Authenticity, Value, and Safety

This tour lets you handle real firearms with live ammunition, not virtual or simulated guns. That authenticity makes it stand out from many shooting experiences that rely on airsoft or laser guns. For those interested in firearms or wanting a taste of what real shooting feels like, this experience offers genuine insight.

Regarding value, the cost includes transportation, instruction, safety gear, and several firearms. While the session may feel brief, reviews suggest that the overall experience, safety, and professionalism justify the price. For many travelers, this experience is more about the thrill and the novelty than extended shooting.

What Reviewers Say
