My point was that any deer rifle would out class the pirates. The gun you showed is overkill on anything under the size of an Elk herd. ;)
On second thought, when shooting pirates, you really are not concerned with the quality of meat that is left.
No, you don’t. The full article includes a quote by some moron who thinks that the world should get the state of Somalia to make the pirates stop. I don’t understnad how people can think of things like that without large amounts of hallucinogens.
I’m thinking one operative on each side, eight hour shifts.
Six guys is all you need. A comfy chair, an RPG launcher, a few mags of hollow points for the rifle.
These goofball pirates, from what I’ve seen, have crappy little boats, AK47s and MAYBE some grenades.
Plus, you would be about 80 feet above them.
It’d be like a cruise with target practice opportunities.
If it gets hairy, the off duty guys get rousted out.
Let’s start a company!
One could go back in time and read Josef Conrad, a sailor turned successful novelist (1857-1928) I believe. Under penetrating scrutiny the authority would ask a Mr Middleton.
(1) Where are their offices?
(2) What are their financial stakes?
(3) What notable maritime figures are employed by them?
While these questions were being pondered. Some one would give an answer.
It is "all a bit of skin". (Conrad: Lord Jim).
These are the same people that were ready to roll over during the cold war, and earlier when the Germans invaded.
Why don’t the Euros get it? Self-defense in the face of gross violation of international law should be SOP. In fact, immediate execution of all pirates should be SOP.
That would solve my unemployment and lack of travel woes...
You be the President...I hate driving desks...
(french sounding voice)
“If you are still here! I shall taunt ewe a second time!”
I’m inspired...We could hire these shifty boogers!
Cool background music...We could use it in the takedowns...
Not me.
I call second shift.
You’ll need the night vision goggles...
I wonder who we can call...
This is so HUMILIATING for America as a nation.
