I prefer we use something that doesn’t let these guys get close enough to use those.

So do I, and there are many excellent chioces available, given the will to pay for and use them. Still, there's nothing like flame thrower or buckets of burining gasoline to discourage miscreant boarders at the gunnels.

Again Mad Tom, you’re tryin’ to throw a bucket of gas, and they’re shooting AKs and RPGs at ya!
BTW, at the Pirate name site, there were a lot of Rackhams as I recall. We were both there the same day, I believe.
