Two Royal Navy service personnel were later detained and an air rifle was recovered from a room at the base.
No-one was injured during the incident and the investigation has been handed over to the Royal Navy Service Police.
A spokesman for the Ministry of Defence said: "MoD Police were called on Friday 12 February following reports that a weapon had been discharged from an accommodation block within Her Majesty's Naval Base Clyde.
"Officers responded and two members of the Naval Service were subsequently detained and an air rifle was recovered from a room."
He said the Royal Navy Service Police were dealing with the matter.
"As an official investigation is under way into the allegations, it would be inappropriate to comment or speculate further," he added. (source BBC)
