Paranoia....they think the pirates are gonna get them...actually, it depends
on where you sail...some places in the Caribbean (mostly down towards S.
America) and places in the Indian Ocean do have real pirate types tat will
board and kill you...not many in this group sail in those situations,
though, so just consider it manly posturing...

Why would you need a gun for yachting?

What is the best gun for yachting? The shotgun can blow large holes in
fiberglass, shoot flares but can be cumbersome. The pistol is easy to
handle
but must be of a large caliber to be effective. My favorite is the good
old
7.62 mm assault rifle. Great range, fire power and visibility - strikes
fear
into the enemy. They tend to get heavy with 40 round clips, but nothing
beats the feel of an old friend pressed against your shoulder and cheek,
the
smell of powder, the ring in the ears and of course the toasty warm barrel
with the odor of gun oil and solvents!

I personal recommend an HK 91, or a Springfield Armory M1A or M-14. With
40
rounds you are bound to hit something! Hoo-yah! Ah-men!!!
