What I love about this experience? First, the variety of weapons—from AK47s to grenade launchers—delivered with expert guidance. Second, the personalized nature of the tour, as it’s strictly private, meaning no crowds and your choice of targets. Third, the photo and video recording service that captures your entire shooting adventure, making it easy to relive the moment. A minor consideration?

An Adventure You Won’t Forget

Most travelers visiting Phnom Penh have a long list of cultural sights—like the Killing Fields or the Royal Palace—but very few get a chance to handle military-grade weapons in such a safe and controlled manner. This tour makes it possible to cross that off the bucket list without any hassle, offering an experience that’s both exhilarating and surprisingly educational.

The outdoor firing range is set up just outside the city, giving you a break from urban sightseeing to enjoy some fresh countryside air. Our guides and staff are experienced and make safety a priority, giving thorough instructions before you fire any weapon. They also set up multiple cameras for video recordings, so you’ll have plenty of footage to look back on.

The Itinerary: What to Expect

The day begins with a convenient hotel pickup in Phnom Penh, an easy way to start your adventure without worrying about logistics. The journey to the range takes roughly an hour, passing through scenic rural areas, which adds to the sense of escaping the city for a day.

Once at the range, you’ll receive a comprehensive safety briefing and instructions—a vital step since you’ll be handling powerful weapons. This isn’t just about firing randomly; guides ensure you understand each weapon’s operation, making the experience accessible even for first-timers. Reviewer Igor mentioned how he started with shooting watermelons with an M16 and AK47, then moved onto the “unbelievable” RPG experience—saying, “You literally shooting a rocket. You have to try it.”

Weapons and Targets

The core of this experience involves a menu of guns and targets you can select, with prices included. The options are impressive: AK47, M16, T97, PKM machine gun, and even hand grenades. The package allows the user to shoot 30 rounds of each, and the range allows you to choose different targets like houses, coconuts, and even cars upon request—adding a fun, practical element.

Multiple reviews rave about the variety of weapons: one reviewer exclaimed, “Best shooting range I’ve been to,” noting the helpful staff and quick setup. Many mention firing an RPG-7 against gasoline barrels and gas tanks, which is described as “insane” and “once-in-a-lifetime”.

The Video and Photos

A standout feature of this tour is the recorded souvenir video. Using four cameras, the staff films your entire session, which you can request to be edited afterward. Reviewers like “highly recommend” the video package, as it captures the adrenaline and makes for a great keepsake or shareable moment. For those interested in photos, you can inquire about that separately.

The Environment and Experience

The range is well-maintained, with friendly, professional staff ensuring safety and fun go hand-in-hand. Many reviews mention how the guides make the experience accessible—even for first-timers—while also respecting safety protocols. The rural setting also offers a relaxing contrast to the busy city, and many find the ride out part of the adventure.

Additional Inclusions and Costs

The tour, priced at $25 per person, covers hotel pickup and drop-off, drinks (cold beers and soft drinks), the video recording, and professional guidance. It’s a good deal considering the variety of weapons and targets, and the safety and instruction provided. However, if you want to shoot large gas tanks or more ambitious targets, expect to pay extra (e.g., $90 for a big gas tank) or cover additional fees like Phnom Penh’s entrance fee of $45.

Who Will Love This?

This experience is best suited for adventure lovers and thrill-seekers who aren’t uncomfortable around guns. It appeals to those wanting a once-in-a-lifetime activity—such as firing an RPG—without the risks of doing so independently. If you’re a gun enthusiast or a curious traveler wanting to see what it’s like to handle military weapons, you’ll find this tour both fun and educational. It’s also an excellent way to mix a cultural trip with an adrenaline rush, especially for those who enjoy a bit of spectacle and action.

That said, it’s not for everyone—those under 19, or anyone with safety concerns, should steer clear. Also, keep in mind, additional costs for bigger targets or extra ammunition may elevate the overall expense.

In short, the Cambodia Fire Range offers a safe, well-organized, and thoroughly enjoyable shooting experience that’s perfect for those looking to do something out of the ordinary during their Phnom Penh trip. With friendly guides, flexible weapon options, and the chance to record your entire session, it provides excellent value for money.
