I do like the picture of you as John Wayne taking on a 20 or so equally or better armed men. Assumption on your part, Oz. 20 poorly armed men won't have any problems taking over an unarmed vessel if they can catch it. Different scenario if they're tackling a vessel where one or more people have a good heavy calibre rifle and the skill/will to use it. I don't have any real doubts as to my ability to seriously ruin someone's day if I had a 7.62 Nato and all they had was AK-47 type rifles or shotguns. Esp if I still had some of the tracer ammo we used to use when spotlighting years ago. If they have better arms and numbers, you're toast. Best scenario is to be somewhere else. That's my plan. Now as to the wisdom, appropriateness and grit to do it - that's another matter entirely and most people wouldn't, likely including me. Problem as I see it is that by the time you've decided you're in deep enough **** to start shooting, it's probably too late to do any good. OTOH I'd have no qualms about putting a round over the wheelhouse if I thought it necessary. No person/boat with innocent intent is going to keep chasing you after that unless they're officials in which case you're gonna get a personal introduction to their jail system. Better hope it's a *lot* better than the USA one. PDW |
