It would certainly give the pirates cause for reflection. The thought of trying to raid a nice-looking cruise ship that turns out to be full of middle aged and slightly drunk weapons collectors, armed to the teeth with everything from throwing stars and PIATs to flintlock muskets and M-71 miniguns, and spoiling for a fight (people like that get sooooooo competetive) would be somewhat disconcerting. |

The ship needs to be comprehensively equipped with CCTV recording gear, so that kills can be properly credited, and points duly awarded. After all, mowing down a teenage pirate carrying and AK-47 when you have a .303 Maxim gun is not much of a contest; however, electing to despatch your target with a genuine antique Scots Claymore would earn a lot more points, especially if you sever the head from the body in a single blow. |
