    Cool video showing armed guards thwarting Somali pirates

    TTAG posted a video with a first-person view of armed guards on a cargo ship shooting at Somali pirates with AR15s. They picked the wrong ship to mess with!

    Aaaaargh!

    I would have felt a little more productive popping those boats with a .308.

    From the time the guy decides to leave the bridge and the time he gets out side that boat closed fast. I think I would have wanted something with more range.

    My Saiga 308 with 20 round mags would've done nicely. Maybe we need to put together a new security company and go work the Somali coast....

    I bet we could field a nice force of "security officers" - surely better armed than those guys.

    And what's with the "warning shots"? I think if they're coming in like that with grapling hooks they need to take rounds on board. Period.

    What a job. I wonder if they use helicopters to put them on and take them off of the ships as they move into the trouble area?

    Bet they make a mint.

    Those ruskies sure like to waste ammo.

    A couple of .308 battle rifles can take care of those idiots. And if you need more, a semi-auto Barrett in 50 Cal would be more than enough.

    I think a Saiga 12ga loaded with saboted slugs would be best for this.


    Toss in some 00buck too. like a 4:1 ratio in a drum.

    There's no bargaining or reasoning with these morons. They're basically faggot versions of the terminator without a CPU and with a rusted, shit chassis covered with a pig shit exterior. Be up front about it and don't edit yourself.

    Didn't look like they were really trying to actually hit any of the pirates. Seemed like they were just shooting in their general direction. I would think you'd want something like a .50 or .338 lapua and try to take them out before they got within small arms range. But I guess you want to make sure they're actually pirates before you light them up.

    They say warning shots but just before the boat hits the ship you can see bullets hitting the water for what looks like inches above the starboard rail of the boat... In other words they were shooting AT the people in the boat and that is probably why it slammed into the ship -- driver dead.

    How the hell do you miss at that range and elevation?

    I thought the first boat should have been full of dead pirates.

    Yet, it doesn't seem like that occurred here?
