The problem with fighting back with small arms or rockets, is they can

stand off a ways and sink you with theirs a lot easier than you can hit

them in their tiny boats... or run a cable and disable you, then hit you

with the rockets...That is what I heard anyway, as a reason why the

bigger ships just can't fight them off with small arms....

The .50 cal machine gun can shoot a mile off. Being a machine gun, it
can put a lot of rounds on target. Why they don't put one on every ship is beyond me.

It seems to work for the Coast Guard.

Lots of countries have anti gun laws.

Most of them don't have pirates. Look at how much Detroit and Chicago have been helped by allowing

I'm hoping you know this, and your misuse of "you're" is deliberate. If
not, someone should have been kind enough to tell you by now that
"you're" is the contraction of "you are." The word you want is "your."

Hope *your* day is spectacular.

Have a nice day.
