“BAE Systems has demonstrated its new laser system, which can temporarily blind would-be attackers. The system would prevent pirates from being able to aim their weapons at targets, BAE claims. But further safety testing is needed before such a system could be commercially deployed.”

Safety testing? Seriously? We’re worried about hurting pirates? I can’t believe how far the west has fallen.

We are the wussies on the High Seas.

We use high tech lasers which may temporarily blind pirates; while they use AK-47’s which ‘temporarily’ kill us. Those pirates that are ‘warned’ turn their anger and fully automatic weapons upon defenseless ships.

Yup, we are a Super Power of wimps, fags, wussies and Libtards. We don’t even have the b*lls to scratch their eyes out.

Any laser these scum see should soon be met with live ammo.

Yeah, lets don’t do anything that might harm them permanently. Geez, evil really is ruling the day.

Why not just get a 20-mm cannon and blast them all to hell?

Hand held green lasers is an idea, until someone sells the pirates laser protective sunglasses.

Why are we wasting our time and money on these things? Blow the hell out of them and we won’t have to worry about repeat offenders!

I bet that, even now, the pirates are “lawyering up” to prevent deployment of the “cruel,” “inhuman,” “blinding” laser.
And, I bet their lawyers win...

An 18th Century broadside would be a lot cheaper.

Better yet would be a laser beam that's ridden by a 155mm Copperhead round.

The first contact with Muslims the US had was the Barbary Pirates after the American Revolution. We haven't learned much have we?
