Life doesn't present too many moments like that. Quite effective warning shots. Not much time to do owt else than let em have it.

Jacked on drugs with nothing to lose.

Luckily you didn't have to try out the roe, flipflop.

Just out of curiosity would a private security contractor(s) be required to fire warning shots? Do you believe that the company hiring SC would require warning "shots" to be placed before taking a more serious stance? Just wondering is all, not trying to stir the proverbial pot.

I'm going to guess that the security people fire on the captain's orders or failing that the ship owners protocol.

I'm not really a proper reporter, due to the chronic lack of discipline, negligible attention span, and a certain juvenile difficulty taking serious things seriously.

Warning shots are a waste of time - six pirates hoofing along at 25 knots in a skiff with an outboard won't hear them or see them. The three different companies I worked for didn't have them in the ROE. If the pirates see weapons on the bridge they'll fuck off sharpish, just hold the gat up there and show them what's waiting for them.

Cheers
