A brace of 20mm guns is enough. How hard is it to mount those?

It's not hard at all, and they've got a naval variant of the more modern 25mm Bushmaster:

I saw part of a documentary on the History Channel last week about the return of pirates; they had some sea lawyer on it who stated that it was against "International Law"© to arm merchant ships -- the international version of "gun control."

We can see how well that's working...

That would work

Technically not hard at all. Legally virtually impossible. After all if people were allowed to mount guns on their ships we might have piracy. (Oh we already do. I guess gun control on the ocean doesn't work any better than gun control in Wash DC.)

a couple of 25mm chain guns would do just fine. Low cost,low maintenance, lots of impact on anybody trying to do mischief near your ship.
