As soon as the captain was overboard and out of direct line of fire, flip on the CWIS and turn the rest of the pirates into chum. They don’t have men standing watch with .50cal guns?

Oh sure, the capt. may not be IN the boat, but he's in the water nearby. CWIS and Ma Deuces aren't exactly known for their pinpoint accuracy.

The CWIS yeah, it’s an area weapon, but Marine snipers in Lebanon back in 83 used the Ma Deuce as a makeshift long range sniper weapon.

Somebody should have informed Gunny Hathcock the M2 was wasn’t accurate before he used it to take out Vietcong at 2500 yards...
