Hi folks.
Just wanted to know if there are any known online resources with
respect to pirates. No, not the peg leg eye patch kind, but the
real
kind on the water. I want to investigate how real these stories
are
that I hear about.
If you ask over is rec.boats.sailing, you'll probably find some live
discussion about them. a couple or three years ago, I'd say, there
were some people tha were aproached by latter-day pirates, and
fended
themselves with shotguns. Not sure though.
But a sail ship cald "Gandolf the Green" comes to mind....
I would prefer just killing them outright.

As in an RPG smack dab in the middle of the boat.

Leave the survivors to the sharks.
Unfortunately I don't own such items, and I asked at the drugstore
today, and they are out too.
Roll your own. :)

Pretty easy to make a nice, nasty Molotov Cocktail only instead of
gas, use gun powder. Sweeten that with some roofing nails, a few
pieces of magnesium, 'ya got 'cha some elementary RPG material. Some
surgical tubing to launch and just let 'em get close enough -
wham, bam, thank you mam - toasted pirates.

I was wondering why so many pirates lost a leg...their slingshot failed
and the "nasty Molotov" fell to the deck and blew up. Homebrew Molotovs
won't hack it.

If you want to ward off pirates, get yourself a heavy-duty fully
automatic rifle, preferably a reliable Soviet Avtomat Kalashnikova model
1947 with a 75-round drum mag or a Barrett semi-auto that shoots .50
BMG. The .50 BMG will hole a hull at and below the waterline and
penetrate an engine. Avoid the "modern" U.S. automatic assault rifles
like the plague. Too finicky.


Too much like work. This will do nicely. The caliber was specifically
designed for hunting buffalo.

I'd rather have the Kalash...


I'd rather have a knish.
