“�high decibel noise device?� I�d say an AR15 is pretty high decibel.”

My feelings exactly. Only it should have been from a Ma-Duce.

And as Henry Fonda said in, “Once Upon a Time in The West”, “People scare better when they are dieing.” And that’s how to deal with pirates.

Guns repel pirates? I think this post is in need of the “unpossible” tag.

Caleb beat me to it, but I’d prefer a .50 BMG, or at least a 30 cal MG. Lather, rinse, repeat until all signs of pirate boat disappear and are replaced by sharks looking for more.

[...] Why pirates don’t screw around with me [...]

Right and ready, since 2000.

I wonder what’s louder, a Ma Deuce or a TOW?

An Iowa-class man of war, with a bone in her teeth, demonstrating off your coast–now that�s a high-decibel noise device!

Imagine that!

Seagoing criminals react to spirited armed defense pretty much the same as landlubbing criminals.

No, the AR15 isn’t a high-deicbel noise device.

The M2HB .50 caliber heavy machine gun, now that’s a high-decibel noise device!

And when you’re talking Somali pirates, they would probably be even worse shots with “bigger guns.”

Is not the conventional (anti-gun) wisdom is that pirates react in greater force than what is presented at them? I have heard that they will come back with bigger guns, although I have never seen this theory proven by reality.
