What do you think?

Would these guys pose a threat to host nations?

I just don't get why people would sail unarmed into hostile waters.

Unless you actually live in the middle of the ocean, of course. So there are exceptions I'm sure.

There are companies who've hired professional security to defend against pirates.

It's feasible to have the security weapons transferred from another ship in open water.

This is such a good analogy to armed citizens and home invasions, etc.

I'm surprised those guys (pirates) didn't turn around immediately. Looked like they kept giving chase?

I think they'd be better served with 3rd ID DMRs
Those few inches gain a bit more velocity and range.

Damn animals need to be exterminated not understood as some in this country believe.    No matter what religion they claim in this life, they will not escape God's justice on them for eternity.  Meanig the Abu Sayeff or those of their stink.

I'd like at least a .308 in open waters.  Smaller if they get on board.

Hell with that, I don't understand why they don't have at least a couple of M60's. Get those babies mounted and have some fun. Plus, shooting long range at sea by hand without a lot of lead is very impractical, too much movement by the ships.
