Caribbean ship testing new anti-piracy system

I would think a couple of 50 cal. machine guns and the will to use them would work just as well.

[null and void]

So would glazing the pirates’ nests.

[MindBender26]

Exactly.

And there are a number of companies in Fayetteville that can supply 4 well-trained 2d world military vets, and a retired SF, Delta, Grey Fox, SEAL or Ranger to lead them.

[john drake]

Yep, that should do it. And if they don’t get hit by bullets themselves, their crappy boats will, and they’ll sink pronto and then....well, shark food. Good riddance. Inshallah my muzzie “friends”.

[skimbell]

Here you go....one "Anti-Piracy Device" comin' up.

Courtesy of Browning-still works pretty good!

[Vendome]

Hell I could use those for my car so I could distinguish between pork and the rest of us citizens.

Hi Ma!

[Mr Ramsbotham]

I would think a couple of 50 cal. machine guns and the will to use them would work just as well.

That's it in a nutshell. A cheap and effective solution.

[hosepipe]

With a 20mm all you would need to do was shoot the boat.. most any boat..

[hosepipe]

OR shoot AT THE BOAT.. they would run..

There are cascades of water and noxious compounds to repel invaders

There are also machine guns and other ordinance to repel invaders. This modern penchant, from lefties, for using non-lethal means against people who are trying to shoot you with real weapons is sheer folly.

[samtheman]

There’s a fundamental dysfunction, deep in the heart of civilization, that allows decent law-abiding seafaring folk to go out defenseless against savage f*ing criminals who don’t deserve the oxygen they breathe. A fundamental dysfunctional disconnect.

Arm the ships!
Blast the pirates to kingdom come!

The rest is BS.

[ßuddaßudd]

Lets start a Pirate Hunting Cruise adventure business.

[Nuc 1.1]

5”/54s it's the only way to be sure.

[I still care]

a) The law of human nature says if the prize is good enough, the pirates will find ways around any such defense. They will just get them next time.

b) This is an expensive rabbit hole to throw things down.

But there is a reason we are not removing this vermin. I’m not sure in toto what it is, but mighty nations make up their minds and destroy pirates.

[Navy Patriot]

OK, but we need a good offense too.

Bait ships with unseen military support within immediate striking distance. Shipboard tribunals, interrogation and execution of pirates, and punishment strikes on the ports they sailed from, if they do not capture and surrender all on shore pirates.

In one year there would be no sea piracy on the planet.

[SandRat]

I like this anti-piracy device

Quad 50 cals

[WKUHilltopper]

Just mount some .50s and .30s on the deck...sheesh, they’re coming at you in frickin’ jon boats, for crikes sakes!

[blueunicorn6]

Just book that Rosie O’Donnell gay cruise for the east coast of Africa. Let those pirates get on that ship and you’ll see some puking and screaming.
