Completely Unclear On The Concept.

Pirate survival rule number one: never open fire on someone way better armed than you. Like, say, the Royal Navy:

Pirates caught redhanded by one of Her Majesty’s warships after trying to hijack a cargo ship off Somalia made the grave mistake of opening fire on two Royal Navy assault craft packed with commandos armed with machineguns and SA80 rifles.

I hope more pirates make that mistake.
