New Sniper Discovered in Ezerkrasts — Bird Hunter with Airsoft Gun Tries to Outperform Metalurgs' Results
A Liepāja Ezerkrasts resident tried to calibrate his shooting skills from his balcony until neighbors started thinking about a real sniper.
Yesterday in Liepāja's Ezerkrasts district, a drama unfolded that would be suitable for a Hollywood thriller, if only the director hadn't been from Riga and understood that only ordinary everyday Liepāja things happen here. Some local resident decided to practice with an airsoft gun from his balcony, apparently preparing to become a better sniper than Liepāja "Metalurgs" forwards.
Eyewitnesses, seeing the balcony shooter, immediately started gossiping – they thought someone was aiming at birds. "I already thought a professional had appeared in our neighborhood," comments neighbor Jānis. "But it turned out the guy just wanted to calibrate his shooting trajectory. Although, considering how 'Metalurgs' shoots at the goal this season, maybe he should have been practicing together with the hockey players."
The police arrived faster than Liepāja "Metalurgs" fans after a lost game, and determined that there was no real sniper – just a local airsoft enthusiast. The man explained that he was preparing for competitions and simply wanted to calibrate his weapon. The police issued him a fine from 50 to 500 euros, which is less than the price of "Metalurgs" tickets for the entire season.
Now Ezerkrasts residents can be calm – the only shooter in the district is again just the one who shoots photos for his Instagram profile. And if anyone wants to practice with weapons, they'd better go to a real shooting range or at least get advice from the "Metalurgs" coach about precision.
