Pirates scared off by sound weapon ( PIC )

This is an actual picture of the pirates trying to board the cruiseship off the coast of Somalia. Look at these fuckers...

The ship's Norwegian captain and crew scared them off with LRAD, a "secret" weapon developed after the attack on the USS Cole, sending a concentrated 150 db high pitched sound wave.
LRAD - Long Range Acoustic Device

Pretty cool shit...

wtf is the guy with a stick going to do?

Wonder who they jacked to get that boat.

:1orglaugh
I didnt see that until just now

Duh - sticks and stones!!! :winkwink:

Thats bad ass! nice use of simple technology.

Holy shit...this is the 10th fucking posts about it in 2 days.

Too bad these cruise ships are not armed with some 50 cals. They could let the passengers take turns trying to fuck these dirtbags up while getting in a little target practice.
I hate terriorist and just shooting them is too easy of a death...maybe dropping them into the prop of the ship would be more appropriate.

I am trying hard not to use the "N Word" anymore. :winkwink:

AK-47's

Hmmmmmmnnnnnnn. wonder where they got those? (hint: ollie north, russia, saddam(i.e. usa)) ROFL

one gunner with a 50 Calibre woulda made short work of them. thats my suggestion. fuck chasing them off. sink the little bastards.

pirates?

from the looks of that pic of the idiots, they are nothing more than some renegades. dare the media tarnish the name of true pirates by calling these jokers pirates.

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

They should give the ship security a gun to fire at these idiots and kill them

I agree, these clowns could at least have invested in a real pirate ship

The captain should have just run right over that dingy. I would have chased them down if I was the captain. :1orglaugh

they look like tough mother fuckers.

stupid fuckers, chio you better call of your boys :1orglaugh

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

still not pirates to me :winkwink:

they are walmart pirates then. in a k-mart boat.

no sail = no pirate
no eye patch = no pirate
no cannons on the bow = no pirate

etc

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Don't a lot of those big cruise ships have shotguns onboard for passenger's to skeet shoot?

And even if that little boat caught up with the cruise ship, how did they plan on climbing aboard? Those buggers are at least a dozen storeys high to the deck.

The attack was lacking something in the planning stages, me thinks.

Me thinks they need to go back to pirate school.

Did they actually fire the rocket launcher?

From the news reports he did try doing just that. :) I can only imagine a cruise ship is not the easiest to maneuver when trying to run down a small vessel.

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

I dont know how magnified this pic is ...

.. but hell if they were that close... who needs a damn 50 cal

I could plink them pirates with my trusty .357 mag

that aint even tough shootin there!! In fact, first round Id
hit the dude on the outboard in the temple...

and hell .. gimme my ruger .22 rifle with a 50 round ramline clip and
this fight is over in less than 10 secs and you could keep the dingy!!

ummm you really think AK's from the 80's are still widely in use..lol Hate to tell you but in most of those countries they build the guns themselves.. and sell them for $50 bucks a pop.. No one from the U.S would even waste their time for that amount.

Where is Chio when you need him.

Rocket launcher......... check
AK47........................ check
uhm, big pointy stick... check

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

They were trying to rob a cruiseship? 5 guys on something a little more high-tech than a rowboat? My feeling is that it was a failed attempt at a terrorist act - that they could have done successfully - shoot the rocket launcher, make a hole in an important part of the ship - cause a fire and get publicity for their cause.

A guy with a stick and 2 with rocket launchers don't look like the main plan was to rob a cruise ship (the smallest cruiseship holds how many people? Certainly more than 500) - if that was their intentions, they are most certainly dumber than a doorknob.

Anyhow, IMHO they were not there to rob the ship - but what do I know.

lol :1orglaugh :pimp

I think there were two of these boats actually. I seem to remember they hijacked some UN food relief ship a while back as well. Somalia is THE shithole of the world, no central government etc, total lawlessness. These people are not exactly educated...

It's not a stick, it's an RPG (Rocket Propelled Grenade)

no. theres actually a guy with a stick. In the middle. RPG guy is on the left

Oh yah i just noticed the motherfucker.
maybe he's trying to scare people with the stick.

i'd be scared of the RPG

I think Chio was behind all of this.

ARGHHHH

i think that stick is a spear really.....and it is manned by a professional spearchucker, get down!

They're not pirates

They were muslims terrorists trying to hijack the ship and take white hostages

The media never calls anything what it actually is anymore.. kinda of like french "youths" rioting instead of french "muslims" rioting

those aren't pirates...those are some african niggas in a janky fishing boat.

Shoot them motherfuckers

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

I was thinking the same thing

ROFL!!!!!!! :1orglaugh

thats sad... they have no future and they can't even get the robbing of a ship right!

rofl.. yeah whats the stick for.

I think the stick was for the pirate flag, but the flag fell off and they didn't notice.

Thats my theory at least.

:winkwink:

they should have just bombed those fucktards. they dont deserve the ingenious sounds weapond

I just view it as a maritime version of a carjacking. LOL. Somalia is a mess.... no centralized govt, no law. It would be nice to have one HEAVILY PROTECTED area where you can set up bulletproof servers and online casinos and pharmacies.... HMMMMMMMMMMMMm



Nah... Just thinking out loud. LOL

That wouldn't scare Chio. :D

what a bunch of clowns :1orglaugh

Niace weapon but I think a well aimed grenade launcher will turn that fishing boat into pieces instead.
