Hi folks.

Just wanted to know if there are any known online resources with
respect to pirates. No, not the peg leg eye patch kind, but the real
kind on the water. I want to investigate how real these stories are
that I hear about.

Google turned up nothing from news sources which looked reputable?

Just tried that. As expected, no mention of piracy. Maybe a better choice of
search terms would fare better.

However, I did not look at all 13,300,000 search results. Just the first
couple of pages.

Maybe you should explain how a google search for the words "congress" and
"government" should be an especially effective way to find out more about
piracy, since those words do not fulfill that goal.

Hi there. Thanks for the replies. I will check it out.

Government are admitted crooks. That's the people's fault, even here

If you ask over is rec.boats.sailing, you'll probably find some live
discussion about them. a couple or three years ago, I'd say, there
were some people tha were aproached by latter-day pirates, and fended
themselves with shotguns. Not sure though.

But a sail ship cald "Gandolf the Green" comes to mind....

I would prefer just killing them outright.

Leave the survivors to the sharks.

Roll your own. :)

Pretty easy to make a nice, nasty Molotov Cocktail only instead of
gas, use gun powder. Sweeten that with some roofing nails, a few
pieces of magnesium, 'ya got 'cha some elementary RPG material.

Some surgical tubing to launch and just let 'em get close enough -
wham, bam, thank you mam - toasted pirates.

I was wondering why so many pirates lost a leg...their slingshot failed
and the "nasty Molotov" fell to the deck and blew up. Homebrew Molotovs
won't hack it.

If you want to ward off pirates, get yourself a heavy-duty fully
automatic rifle, preferably a reliable Soviet Avtomat Kalashnikova model
1947 with a 75-round drum mag or a Barrett semi-auto that shoots .50
BMG. The .50 BMG will hole a hull at and below the waterline and
penetrate an engine. Avoid the "modern" U.S. automatic assault rifles
like the plague. Too finicky.

Too much like work. This will do nicely. The caliber was specifically

Pretty easy to make a nice, nasty Molotov Cocktail only instead of
gas, use gun powder. Sweeten that with some roofing nails, a few
pieces of magnesium, 'ya got 'cha some elementary RPG material. Some
surgical tubing to launch and just let 'em get close enough -
wham, bam, thank you mam - toasted pirates.

I was wondering why so many pirates lost a leg...their slingshot failed
and the "nasty Molotov" fell to the deck and blew up. Homebrew Molotovs
won't hack it.

If you want to ward off pirates, get yourself a heavy-duty fully
automatic rifle, preferably a reliable Soviet Avtomat Kalashnikova model
1947 with a 75-round drum mag or a Barrett semi-auto that shoots .50
BMG. The .50 BMG will hole a hull at and below the waterline and
penetrate an engine. Avoid the "modern" U.S. automatic assault rifles
like the plague. Too finicky.


Too much like work. This will do nicely. The caliber was specifically
designed for hunting buffalo.

Totally disagree.

Given my druthers, I'd take a AK over it's M-16 cousin anyday in close
quarters if only for one reason - it's shorter and had much better
balance even with the extra half pound of weight. It also will not
jam - ever. Fewer parts, quicker disassembly/assembly and in a pinch,
you can retrofit all AKs from other AKs.

It's simple, effective and easy to maintain. And up to 250 yards, as
accurate, or even more accurate, than the M-16 - whatever variant.

Now if you want to reach out and touch someone, that's a different
story. Close in, AK every time.

End the crap easily. Like the tug that was held for a couple of months and
was ransomed. Just inform the pirates that their home village will be
eliminated from the living. And do it at least once.
