    Humans at Sea YouTube channel because it often has interesting videos like this one about a cargo ship's security team firing on Somali pirates trying to board.

    Poking that little boat full of holes would help. Lot of ammo wasted.

    Let em get a taste of "Ol Painless" or a Bushmaster. That'll make em think twice.

    It seems to me that I read somewhere there is a small tour outfit that is, or was advertising "A Unique Adventure" or something like that. What it supposedly amounted to is that idiots pay to ride yachts in those waters, with the opportunity to kill some pirates.

    I think someone's got the right idea. Just give them all the ammo they need to patrol off Somalia and let them have at it.

    2. WOW, are they really shooting at that lil thing?....what if the shootersy kill someone?
    3. I cant believe that lil thing bumped the big boat...what are they thinking?
    4. LOL...what that lil thing gonna do to the big boat?....idiots...but then it dawned on me
    5. WHOA...that lil boat could'a been loaded with explosives and done major damage

    I checked into Maritime security services about a year after I got out of the Navy. Made it through the phone interview, the background check, and the follow interview, they turned me down because I didn't have my own equipment such as an AR or ballistic vest. Pay was starting at $85k a year with mandatory 3 month turns then home for 2 weeks. Room and board taken care of on the ships, military style hyerarchy, watch stations, escorting of ship VIPs in ports.

    Sounded like a decent gig but I didn't have any gear at the time

    Hitting a boat, from a boat..... they make it look alot easier than it actually is, I'm sure.

    Still, looks like a good way to burn a couple hundred rounds.
