Are there any shooting ranges in Hanoi?

Question

I am going there next month and would like to get an AK-47 into my list of weapons fired.

Answer 1

i don't know for sure. i've never been that far north. i have never heard a a firing range for civilian use in vietnam.

if you are a regular visitor and have friends in the VN police or military, they might invite you to their range.

Answer 2

firearms are prohibited in Hanoi and Vietnam in general unless military/police usage. There is none in Hanoi as I know.

Answer 3

I don't know about any such facility in or near Hanoi but visit the Cu Chi Tunnel :"...Just 65km (40 miles) northwest of Saigon, the Cu Chi area lies at the end of the Ho Chi Minh trail and was the base from which guerrillas used to attack Saigon. As a result the whole area became a "free fire zone" and was carpet-bombed in one of many American "scorched-earth" policies.

But the residents of Cu Chi took their war underground, literally, developing a network of tunnels that, at its height, stretched as far as Cambodia and included meeting rooms, kitchens, and triage areas -- an effective network for waging guerrilla warfare on nearby U.S. troops

There is also a shooting range where, for $1 per bullet, you can try your hand at firing anything from a shotgun to an AK-47. At the end of the tour...."
