Somali Pirates

I suppose a history class might have prevented this situation from its inception if the Pirates simply understood the phrase "From the halls of Montezuma, to the shores of Tripoli."
Yes, I know the shooters were Navy Seals, not Marines, but the sentiment, and the continent is the same.

I think the pirates have watched Pirates of the Caribbean and some of the other romantic Hollywood movies too many times...

Lots of SF types like to modify the M14 and use it for sniping/sharpshooting etc.

Way to go boys ... if you're ever in my neck of the woods, beers are on me. About frickin time those scum face bullets instead of stacks of $100 bills. Next time they need to give them counterfeit money then blow them out of the frickin water after they head back to shore/mothership. A few months of 99% mortality and pirating won't seem to be such a good option anymore.

That's what ended piracy the first time around.
