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.

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.

First person shooter games are good training devices but nothing beats the real thing, does it. You've got to love Yachtsmen. Michael Frazier
