Warning Shots

Gotta love the "warning shots"

LiveLeak.com - Private security guards shoot Somali pirates | Digg Topnews

At least 100 rounds of warning shots and they ran over the skiff

Russians understand how to deal with pirates

See, easy problem to solve. Just have some armed forces on their ship, or security not afraid to unload!

Reports indicate that at least one pirate was killed, so I'd say the rounds did their job.

That being said, a Mk19 or M240 would be preferable for repelling pirates.
