If laws prevent crews from carrying, we need to change the laws.

1000 of these flying the horn of Africa would certainly help.

One shot, multiple kills.

A couple of these new auto shotguns on the port and starboard sides, the aft and bow of each ship would go a long way in erradicating the Pirate Scum.

The video doesn’t get into the new automatic shotgun until a little over 40 seconds.

Fer cryin' out loud...

Bullets and grenades do the job quite well, and they don't leave the pirates around to try again later.

I read somewhere that simple Concertina barbed wire deployed around the ship was pretty effective.

Security contractors seem to be the most cost effective way to deal with the problem. But it appears the owners, insurers, maritime organizations and unions don’t want the added bother and expense. Their solution is to fight pirates on our dime with our resources.

So screw ‘em. Let them just put down pirate ransoms as a cost of doing business and let’s move on.

We should get Medieval on them.

Dump cauldrons of boiling bacon grease on boarders.

This is a mission tailor-made for outfits like Blackwater. Put 8-10 Blackwater guys on a merchant ship armed with crew-served automatic weapons and the piracy business gets a lot harder.

Speed and weaponry my a**. They are armed the ships crews are not. Simple and concise. Arm the ships, end the piracy!

So, according to this article, we're basically back to medieval castle defense weapons.
