I heard that also. Here. I've never heard that small arms used for

in a locked wall locker when in port. What horse****.

Actually, even handguns are a no no most places. A fifty is not a
small arm.

How about a cross bow and tear gas? Drop in into the boat, and there are
arrow tips that will do at least as much damage as a magnum 45.

But I guess I couldn't be a Captian, I would fight. Makes me wonder if some
of this isn't staged for insurance money.
