Guns on ships?

[TMF]

[quote name="BigK" post="1105034" timestamp="1391317839"]I can't believe someone hasn't sold tickets to a pirate hunting cruise yet. Can you imagine, a boat full of skinnies moving in on what looks like a normal cruise ship or cargo ship, but 100 lucky ticket buyers pop up over the deck rail with ARs, sniper rifles, and such. Call me what you will, but I'd buy a ticket...just saying.After about a dozen successful cruises, the would-be pirates would trade their AKs for fishing poles to make a safe and an honest living.[/quote] Oh I'm sure amnesty international would throw a fit and the UN would figure out a way to get you and imprison you for life.

Oldie but a goody.....LOL...


I found a Somali cruise package that departs from Sawakin (in the Sudan
) and docks at Bagamoya (in Tanzania ). The cost is a bit high @ US$800
per person double occupancy but I didn't find that offensive. What I
found enticing is that the cruise company is encouraging people to bring
their 'High powered weapons' along on the cruise. If you don't have
weapons you can rent them right there on the boat. They claim to have a
master gunsmith on board and will have reloading parties every
afternoon. The cruise lasts from 4-8 days and nights and costs a maximum
of $3200 per person double occupancy (4 days). All the boat does is sail
up and down the coast of Somalia waiting to get hijacked by pirates.
Here are some of the costs and claims associated with the package.


$800.00 US/per day double occupancy (4 day max billing)


M-16 full auto rental $ 25.00/day ammo at 100 rounds of 5.56 armor
piercing ammo at 15.95


Ak-47 riffle @ No charge. ammo at 100 rounds of 7.62 com block ball ammo
at 14.95


Barrett M-107 50 cal sniper riffle rental 55.00/day ammo at 25 rounds 50
cal armor piercing at 9.95


Crew members can double as spotters for 30.00 per hour (spotting scope
included).


They even offer RPG's at 75 bucks and 200 dollars for 3 standard loads


"Everyone gets use of free complimentary night vision equipment and
coffee and snacks on the top deck from 7pm-6am."


Meals are not included but seem reasonable.


Most cruises offer a mini-bar... and get this..... these gung ho
entrepreneurs offer.........


"MOUNTED MINIGUN AVAILABLE @ 450.00 per 30 seconds of sustained fire"


They advertise group rates and corporate discounts......and even claim
"FUN FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY"


They even offer a partial money back if not satisfied....here's some
text from the ad.


"We guarantee that you will experience at least two hijacking attempts
by pirates or we will refund back half your money including gun rental
charges and any unused ammo (mini gun charges not included)..


How can we guarantee you will experience a hijacking? We operate at 5
knots within 12 miles of the coast of Somalia . If an attempted
Hijacking does not occur we will turn the boat around and cruise by at 4
knots. We will repeat this for up to 8 days making three passes a day
along the entire length of Somalia . At night the boat is fully lit and
bottle rockets are shot off at intervals and loud disco music beamed
shore side to attract attention.


Cabin space is limited so respond quickly. Reserve your package before
May 29 and get 100 rounds of free tracer ammo in the caliber of your
choice."


As if all that isn't enough to whet your appetite, there were a few
testimonials


"I got three confirmed kills on my last trip. I'LL never hunt big game
in Africa again. I felt like the Komandant in Schindlers list!"---- Lars
, Hamburg Germany


"Six attacks in 4 days was more than I expected. I bagged three pirates
and my 12 yr old son sank two rowboats with the minigun. PIRATES 0
-PASSENGERS-32! Well worth the trip. Just make sure your spotter speaks
English" ----Ned, Salt Lake city , Utah USA


"I haven't had this much fun since flying choppers in NAM . Don't worry
about getting shot by pirates as they never even got close to the ship
with those weapons they use and their ****ty aim--reminds me of a
drunken 'juicer' door gunner we picked up from the motor pool back in
Nam" ----"chopper' Dan, Toledo USA.


"Like ducks in a barrel. They turned the ship around and we saw them
bleed and cry in the water like little girls. Saw one wounded pirate
eaten by sharks--what a laugh riot!! This is a must do. ---
