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.



The AK 47 is the most lethal and most reliable assault rifle ever
produced.


I had no problems with either the M-14 or M-16. What problems did you
have,
JimH?

None as I did not serve (my number was not called).

So are you disagreeing with me about the AK 47 or just trying to start more
**** with me as you have done since coming back from your Mouse vacation
today?

I think you need another vacation John........at least from this NG as we
fared far better without you and your nasty/argumentative/name calling
attititude while you were gone.

Chill out guy.


I've now asked you two questions.

They must be upsetting. Sorry. My bad.
