Phnom Penh Shooting & Sightseeing Tour: Prices, Weapons & Booking Guide
Tour Overview
The Phnom Penh Shooting & Sightseeing Tour is a full-day experience that pairs Cambodia’s most sobering historical sites with the adrenaline rush of an outdoor shooting range — giving you a deeper understanding of the country’s past alongside an activity you’ll remember for a lifetime.
Run by Cambodia Shooting Ranges, one of the country’s longest-running shooting tour operators, this tour begins with optional visits to the Toul Sleng Genocide Museum (S-21) and the Choeung Ek Killing Fields — two of the most important sites for understanding the Khmer Rouge era. After a lunch break, you head to Cambodia’s only outdoor mountainous shooting range in Kampong Speu Province, roughly 90–120 minutes southwest of Phnom Penh.
What makes this tour unique is the combination of cultural depth and firepower. The morning provides powerful historical context, while the afternoon delivers an arsenal of 18+ different weapons on a pay-as-you-shoot basis — everything from AK-47s and M16s to belt-fed machine guns, .50 calibre, M79 grenade launchers, live hand grenades, and RPG-7 rocket launchers.

What to Expect
Morning: Sightseeing (Optional)
Your guide collects you between 8:00 and 9:00 AM. If you’ve opted for sightseeing, the morning begins with a 90-minute visit to Toul Sleng Genocide Museum (S-21), followed by the Choeung Ek Killing Fields (45 minutes). Both provide powerful historical context for your day. A 60-minute lunch break follows.
Afternoon: The Shooting Range (4–5.5 hours)
The drive to the range takes 90–120 minutes through the countryside to Kampong Speu Province. On arrival, instructors walk you through the weapons and prices. You choose what to fire, receive instruction, and shoot at your own pace. There’s no timed session — the atmosphere is relaxed and flexible.
Return to Phnom Penh
Your driver returns you to your hotel. If you opted for the video service ($50), the edited footage is delivered to your hotel before the end of the day.
Location & Transport
Round-trip transfer is included. Your guide provides commentary and local insights along the way.
Practical Information
Visitor Tips
- Bring plenty of USD cash. Budget $100–300+ for shooting on top of the $45 base price, plus $16 for museum entrance fees if visiting both sites.
- Manage expectations on the sightseeing. Toul Sleng and the Killing Fields are emotionally heavy. The lunch break helps you decompress before the shooting portion.
- The RPG is the once-in-a-lifetime option. Expensive ($200–500+), but this is one of the few places on earth where tourists can fire a rocket launcher.
- Consider the video service. The $50 professional video package with 4 cameras and a drone is excellent value for groups wanting a polished souvenir.
- Wear closed-toe shoes. The range is outdoors on uneven terrain. Bring sun protection — hat, sunglasses, sunscreen.
- Pack water and snacks. Cold water and beer are included, but the 8+ hour day is long. Bring extras for the drive.
- The sightseeing is optional. If you’d rather skip the museums and focus on shooting, the operator can adjust the itinerary.
- Tipping is appreciated. $5–10 USD for your guide/driver is typical for a full-day tour in Cambodia.
