What are some affordable weapons systems that can sink small boats and be used by Merchant Marines?

Posted on November 21st, 2009 by admin

I’m curious what kinds of weapons would be well suited for sinking pirate vessels that attempt to board merchant vessels and that could be used by the crew members on the vessels.

What would they need, and about how much would it cost to protect the ship from all angles of attack?

Well, a crew armed with Automatic weapons is pretty scary, provided they have proper training.

    An automatic weapon that fires 7.62 rounds would do the trick– like a 240B. Good luck getting one, though.

    .50 Cal but getting those on all boats would be very costly and getting one extremely hard not being military

    A good fire monitor and someone to man it is all that is required. The overwhelming majority of merchant seamen do NOT want to carry firearms.
