AK-47 ShortAK-47 Short

The AK-47 Short Barrel is a compact variant of the classic Kalashnikov platform, designed for close-quarters use while keeping the rugged reliability that made the original AK famous. Chambered in 7.62×39mm, it delivers the same iconic punch but in a shorter, handier package that’s easier to manoeuvre in tight spaces. Its cut-down barrel gives it a louder blast, sharper recoil impulse and a distinctly aggressive look that gamers and movie fans instantly recognise. Used by special units, vehicle crews and forces needing maximum firepower in minimal space, the short AK packs a ton of character into a small frame. Shooting this compact powerhouse at Churchill Shooting Budapest feels like firing a raw, cinematic version of the AK — a thrilling, intense daytime activity in Budapest and one of the most exciting things to do for visitors who want something loud, fast and iconic. If you want the classic AK experience but with extra attitude, this is the one. Seen in movies: – The Expendables – Sicario – Black Hawk Down – Countless modern war and action films featuring carbine-length AKs Featured in games: – Call of Duty series (AKS-74U / short AK variants) – Escape from Tarkov – Battlefield series – PUBG and other tactical shooters Used by militaries & forces: – Russian and Eastern European special units – Middle Eastern and African forces using carbine AK variants – Vehicle crews and security units needing shorter weapons – Various special-purpose and paramilitary groups Fun Fact: Short-barrel AKs often produce a huge muzzle flash — so bright that in low light it can momentarily light up an entire room. Gamers love this because it looks exactly like the dramatic flash effects seen in FPS games, making the real thing feel ridiculously cinematic for non-shooters.
