An M1A (.308 caliber) would be a great help in a situation like this. Most of the pirates are probably using AK's in 7.62x39 mm, a much less powerful cartridge. The .308 could engage them at a greater range and more accurately.

The .308 could engage them at a greater range and more accurately.Given a 2nd chance to arm up, I bet this guy would want a whole lot of weapons more powerful than a 12 guage with 00 buck.
Something in the 50 caliber range comes to mind.

What are your thoughts on 12GA /w sabot rounds in a rifled barrel?
It seems ot me that the accuracy is there /w much greater stopping power.

Good morning.
Accurate shooting from a moving boat is difficult. Accurate shooting from a moving boat at another moving boat is even harder.
