Tour Overview
The Phnom Penh Outdoor Shooting Range is the highest-rated and most-reviewed shooting experience in Phnom Penh, with 93 reviews and a 4.8-star rating on GetYourGuide. At just $15 USD for the base tour, it’s also the most affordable way to experience an outdoor military shooting range in Cambodia.
Operated by Phnom Penh Green Tours, this tour takes you from your hotel to an outdoor military base shooting range where you can fire a wide selection of real firearms — from AK-47s and M16s to RPG rocket launchers and .50 calibre heavy machine guns. Your English-speaking guide Huot (singled out by name in dozens of 5-star reviews) handles everything from pickup to instruction.

What to Expect

The Drive (~1.5–2 hours)
The drive to the outdoor military base range takes approximately 1.5–2 hours through the Cambodian countryside. Your English-speaking guide keeps the journey entertaining with local history and conversation. Reviewers consistently highlight the pleasant drive as part of the experience. Cold drinks are available in the vehicle.
At the Range
On arrival at the military base, you receive a personalised orientation where the instructor walks you through the available weapons and helps you choose which to fire. A comprehensive safety briefing follows, covering stance, grip, trigger control, and recoil expectations for each weapon. You receive earmuffs and safety glasses before heading to the firing positions.
The instructor stays by your side throughout the entire session, adjusting your technique and ensuring safety at all times. The pace is entirely up to you — there’s no timed session or rush. Your free photos and videos are taken during the shooting.

Practical Information
Visitor Tips
- This is the best-value option in Phnom Penh. At $15 for the base tour with unlimited drinks and free photos/videos, it’s significantly cheaper than the alternatives ($45–70). The savings can go straight toward more ammunition at the range.
- Bring plenty of USD cash. Budget at least $60–150 for weapon ammunition on top of the $15 tour price. More if you want to try premium weapons like the RPG or .50 calibre.
- The M16 is the crowd favourite. Multiple reviews single out the M16 as an excellent rifle to try. The AK-47 is the iconic choice, but the M16 gets the most praise for the shooting experience itself.
- Ask for Huot. The guide named Huot is mentioned by name in dozens of 5-star reviews. He’s knowledgeable, entertaining, and makes the experience exceptional.
- Pace yourself with the beer. Unlimited beer is a great perk, but save the heavy drinking for after the shooting — you’ll want steady hands for the firearms.
- Wear closed-toe shoes and a high-collared shirt. Hot brass casings eject sideways. Sturdy footwear is essential on the outdoor military base terrain.
- Don’t skip the safety briefing. Reviewers consistently praise the quality of instruction. The instructor explains recoil expectations for each weapon — this is valuable information that makes the shooting more enjoyable.
- Tipping is appreciated. $5–10 USD for your guide is typical and well-deserved given the level of service reviewers describe.
