I have a potential offer for a sailing trip where repelling boarders might be required.
The crafts owner is connected and can get near anything.
My thoughts were a nice layered defense starting with an M-2,
then either a M-79 or M-203, and for close up an M-16.
I'm leaning toward the M-203 since there would be no need for a separate M-16.
I do have a question though. I've used the M-79/M-203 on land, but never on the water.
Will the grenade round detonate on the waters surface?
Hitting a small fast boat would be mostly shl, but a few of them in front of
approaching small boats should get the point across to not come closer.
Um, yeah, the 203 should be perfectly sufficient to repel any boarders you come across!! LOL! Pirates aren't out there looking for a fight. An explosive round close aboard ought to send them on their way! You better not get caught with it though.
Mr. S. and I both are saying "Huh?"
Depends on the round, I'm thinking.
There are more different 40mm grenade rounds than I can easily list off the top of my head.
I think getting one to detonate on water would be possible. For that sort of work, the rebounding rounds that skip before they go boom might be the ticket.
