It's interesting to think of this whole situation as an arms race, and I wonder if any of the pirates are active in developing countermeasures to such systems, or even innovating on their own attack methods and equipment. The only photos I've seen are of guys in small wooden boats with AK-47s but one would assume that any technology improvements for the pirates would improve their piracy yields.

- grav1tas 16y agoThis sounds like a pretty expensive toy to me. It seems like chemical irritants (ex tear gas) would be more effective, and cheaper? I suppose you could get gas masks, but those might be harder to come by than oh, say, a 2x4 to hold in front of your face.
