Get some of the Lock-Buster 12-guage slugs the DEA uses. 12-guage
with a shaped-charge explosive slug. They use them for blowing the
locks out of steel drughouse doors.

PS...If you do get some be sure to hide them as they are illegal.

lllegal? If the DEA can buy them.... then law abiding US citizens
should be able to buy them. I like the shape charge explosive...Sounds
cool and effective.

Whats the range?

FMJ = full metal jacket, which is usually copper. It's useless for anything
except paper target shooting. For fleshy targets use an expansive type round
such as hollow points, Nosler Partitions, Grand Slams, etc.

For punching through steel use AP rounds (armour piercing):

I recently read the account of a pirate attack in the Red Sea, IIRC. The
skipper had success with a shotgun, the attackers were probably using AK's.
Pretty heavy and can't be broken down, but you could go with a Barrett, keep
them at bay from a distance, fer sure, shotgun for close in work.

Gunny.........I dont think so. Bos'n mate 2nd class.

Most pirate boats are e made of fiberglass over plywood right? That and
steel.


I will check out the AP rounds, have a bunch of FMJ's will use them at
the range plinking.

What about rifle type?

Needs to get around corners fast, NATO rounds, light, knockdown power,
good in a salty soup, can reach out and touch someone, what do you
think should be aboard?

Joe

I need to get one of these....

For you:

Get a Ruger Mini 14 or Mini 30 in stainless steel.

Buy two if you can. Ms. Terry can handle one.

Get a lot of large capacity magazines.

Buy the Russian ammo by Wolf. Varnished steel cases, good but inexpensive.

Don't get the gay folding stocks. Use a real stock and aim at what you
intend to hit. Use real marksmanship and practice.

You might want to look at shotguns too. Also a compound bow for silent work,
but you have to learn to shoot a bow and practice regularly.

For real firepower get an HK 91. They are expensive.

Amen!
