Just out of curiosity, if you shot pirates for real, coming at your boat
with loaded weapons and you just brought out the 9mm, AK-47 or
M16...wasted them in international waters.

Can you be arrested and the charges stick?

If you don't happen to be in international waters when you shoot them,
I'd suggest sailing to international waters before calling the
authorities.

Why would you call anyone and who would you call?

Well you would call the CG and report some dangerous floatsom in the
water. You don't want anyone run into the floatsom.
