•Somali pirates tried to hijack a cargo ship attacking the vessel in speedboats
•Private security contractors hired to protect the cargo began shooting at them
•The guards saw off the pirates firing dozens of rounds from sub-machine guns
•Dramatic footage captures the furious gunfight between the two boats
•Attack thought to have happened in 2012 but reemerged after hijacking in March
Dramatic footage of a private security team engaging in a fire fight with Somali pirates trying to hijack a cargo ship has emerged online.
A speedboat can be seen hurtling towards the vessel as a private security contractor wielding a sub-machine gun begins to take aim.
One guard begins by firing warning shots around the boat which can be seen landing just feet away from the speedboat.
After firing dozens of rounds at the speedboat which crashes into the ship's hull, one contractor can be heard shouting: 'Where they at, what's their position?'
As one speedboat careers off in retreat security can be heard calling: 'Second skip coming in.'
A second boat races towards the starboard of the ship.
Security guards fire dozens more rounds at the vessel which eventually retreats.

I wouldn’t mind that kind of work.
These damned Somali’s will probably end up in Lewiston,Maine some day.
.
Spray them with fuel and light them up.
“I wouldn’t mind that kind of work.”
Some people pay to have that kind of fun.
Wow. They picked those subhuman rats to pieces. Just let them come in closer, and closer, and closer...
The dumb bastards didn’t know what hit them. Good.
The civilized world should have begun treating these pirates as PIRATES decades ago. There should have been carnage.
Do this and there won’t be pirates.
Well, not living ones, at least. Only the stupid ones will keep trying, and they won’t last as long as the smart ones.
WOOOHOOOO!
HOORAY Americans
Why don’t these merchant-sailors have their own guns? Why do they have to spend money hiring mercenaries?
Why didn’t Captain Phillips and his crew have their own guns? They could have defended themselves against these thugs.
Sorry. Your post made me laugh initially, and that is nothing to laugh about.
Gotta love the coiled contratina wire on the gunwales.

It wasn’t allowed then.

Looks like a good position for a .30 minigun.That would really eat into them.
Captain Phillips and his crew should been able to do the same thing to those Somali thugs.
Stupid huh? Was that under Obama or Bush?
And after the firefight the Somalis received visas to move to Minnesomalia.
The hell with the warning shots. Let them get in rifle range and kill as many as possible.
Yeah, where are the tracers?
When did an M16 become a sub-machine gun?
