Yup. Total cost of handling pirates, $2.20. 11 pirates, 20 cents per 22 round to back of head.

And if they are enterprising russians, they would use them for bait and bring home some fish.

I remember a few years ago (Feb 12, 2009) when the Russian battlecruiser Pyotr Veliky (Peter the Great) was just passing through the area and picked up a distress call from a freighter under attack by pirates. They sent over some troops (don't know if they were Naval Infantry or Spetznaz) and captured 10 pirates. The pirates were brought onboard and the ship continued on to its base at Severomorsk. Despite inquiries from foreign sources, these pirates have not been heard from since.
