I found this site with 12 gage pepper shells for loading into a hand
held flare gun:

This would avoid buying a "real" gun for defending ones sailboat from
pirates. *Thoughts?
Don't do it.

You might irritate them.

This may make them even more angry.

If you're going to shoot at pirates please try and kill them.

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.
Barbeques on fire by the chalets past the castle headland
I watched the gift shops glitter in the darkness off the Newborough gate
All these moments will be lost in time, *like icecream on the beach
Time for tea.

OTOH, if I wanted to get rid of Harry Krause, I'd imitate the weather
forecast "1-2 foot seas, bay and inland waters a light chop" and he'd
disappear.

Doubtful. I don't boat on your tranquil Gulf of Mexico.- Hide quoted text -

Shooting 12 guage shells in a flare gun is not very smart. The flare
gun has a tendency to blow apart which would leave you injure and the
pirates laughing.
