The Seals can consider that their fouling shots.
They are now ready to get down to serious work! Lord knows there a lot of pirates that need an attitude adjustment.

Did you see the one they took alive cry on TV when he found out he was not going to be treated like a bad child and sent home to "mommy"??
Fear of retribution has its place in the world... many more people need it.

Opinion,untempered by fact,is ignorance.
There are some who do not fear death... for they are more afraid of not really living |

First picture I saw of him he was smiling like a fool. Guess reality set in. The other ones back home are now bravely promising retribution from the safety of their caves. Sounds like the season is open.
US flagged ships should feel a little safer but hope they are being vigilant and prepared.
Embarrrassing though to see others let go.

I just hadn't read anything suggesting the distance is all and was curious.

100 feet from what I read.
What I want to know is what ran thru the one who lived mind when his pirate buddies heads exploded.

It's funny how everyone's read or heard a different distance. CNN reported 75 feet per the link I provided. |

I'm thinking that any of the distances mentioned it's just one big sloppy mess.

No idea but one possibility could be something like the m110 or m25 (m14).

At that distance very likely M4's with Aimpoint Comp M4 or Trijicon 4x ACOG's.

I got an invitation for a cruse today.
Now this is what I call a vacation. I am thinking about booking this
cruise. > > Now this would be fun. > > I found a Somali cruise package that departs from Sawakin (in the Sudan) > and docks at Bagamoya (in Tanzania). The cost is a bit high @ $800 a day, > per person, double occupancy but I didn't find it that offensive. > > What I found enticing is that the cruise company is encouraging people to > bring their 'high powered weapons' along on the cruise.

They claim to have a > master gunsmith on board and will have reloading parties every afternoon. > > The cruise lasts from 4-8 days and nights and costs a maximum of $3,200, > per person, double occupancy (4 days). All the boat does is sail up and > down the coast of Somalia waiting to get hijacked by pirates. Here are > some of the costs and claims associated with the package. > > $800.00 US/per day double occupancy (4 day max billing) > M-16 full auto rental $25.00/day ammo at 100 rounds of 5.56 armor piercing > ammo at $15.95 > > Ak-47 rifle @ No charge. ammo at 100 rounds of 7.62 com block ball ammo at > $14.95 > > Barrett M-107 .50 cal sniper rifle rental $55.00/day ammo at 25 rounds of > .50 cal. armor piercing at $9.95 > Crew members can double as spotters for $30.00 per hour (spotting scope > included). > > They even offer RPG's at $75 bucks and $200 dollars for 3 standard loads > > "Everyone gets use of free complimentary night vision equipment and coffee > and snacks on the top deck from 7pm-6am." > > Meals are not included but seem reasonable. > > Most cabins offer a mini-bar. > > These gung ho entrepreneurs offer......... get this..... > "MOUNTED MINIGUN AVAILABLE @ $450 per 30 seconds of sustained fire" > > Sign my ass up! > > They advertise group rates and corporate discounts......and even claim > "FUN FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY" > They also say ASK ABOUT OUR "SENIOR CITIZEN DISCOUNT RATES." > > They even offer a partial money back if not satisfied....here's some text > from the ad. > > "We guarantee that you will experience at least two hijacking attempts by > pirates or we will refund back half your money including gun rental > charges and any unused ammo (mini gun charges not included) > > How can we guarantee you will experience a hijacking?

Folks ain't got a sense of humor no more. They don't laugh they just get sore.
Need to follow the rules. Just hard to determine which set of rules to follow Now the rules have changed again. |

Heck, now-a-days it would be worth going just for the great ammo prices.

Ain't that the truth. $450 for the mini-gun, tempting, mighty mighty tempting. |
