After leaving Russia, we spent a few days in Riga, the capital city of Latvia. It’s a charming city with a lot of culture. We admired the old art nouveau architecture, went to a beer festival… And oh, we also fired some semi-automatic weapons.

We went to a local shooting range and and got a package of 4 different types of guns to try – Kalashnikov, Winchester shot gun, Glock 17 pistol and a Sig Sauer. Greg was like a kid in a candy store picking out guns to try, reliving his Swiss army days. It was the first time shooting a semi-automatic weapon for me. I have to admit, it gave me a huge rush feeling the gun powder strike and explode in the barrel of my weapon.

Eat my dust.

Kalashnikov

By the way, after the tank museum post from Russia last time, I realize we may look like weapons-crazy lunatics. So no, we are not joining any militias anytime soon
