How to deal with pirates!

[E4 No More]

Seems pretty effective to me.

Criminals, at sea or on the streets, are normally cowards when faced with any opposition.

you have to create an account and sign in for it now, its too violent for people who didnt create an account and sign in. ???

looks like more fun than going to Norris

[MrDigitaL]

That was great. I wonder if you can bring any kind of gun on a ship to protect it?

Arrr! I think you can, no country owns the seas, who is to stop you? Thinking of loading up a cannon with ball bearings?

[TripleDigitRide]

I guess the warning shots missed.

Carrying weaponry on the open seas is one thing, carrying them on the ship into port is another. Tons of treaties and rules about that...

Eventually those treaties are going to have to change or I think you will see ships transferring containers outside of ports and letting other ships shuttle it in.

I love it! That should happen more often. I guess screaming warning shots was for the benefit of the video and anyone feeling bad for the pirates.

[Caster]

HUH! And the hippies say violence solves nothing. Looks like a solution to me.

I pushed one of my "employers" that we needed to jump on the maritime security bandwagon when this first broke. Shipping companies were paying millions of dollars. Glad to see that these ships are finally able to protect themselves. You never know what the intentions of those approaching the ship might be these days. It could be a terrorist attack that sinks a tanker ship. The enviromental impact would be felt worldwide and would likely create a scare of a gas shortage in the US driving prices up.

Personally I would love to see a minigun on each side of the ship. Or a few assault 12 full auto shotguns loaded with a mix of these and 00 buck:

Obligatory video:

And on the missions where they actually get to board the pirate's ships they should wound all but one, dump the wounded overboard for shark bait. Then release the final one to go back and tell all the others. This is of course after all weapons are dumped overboard as well.

Well, if they're spending millions, why screw around with it? Go on and do it expeditiously!!!

[MiddTennTaco]

When I was a child, I went on a week long school sea expedition (50-100 kids) and the ship crew had under lock and key: rocket launchers, grenades, and fully automatic firearms. I lived in the middle of the Pacific Ocean for 21 years and I still don't really know how that all works out at sea, lol.

Miniguns would do the job.

If those were warning shots I sure wouldn't want to be in their sights if they got serious!
