    these pirates are not good fighters. neither do they have excellent weaponry. rpg's and ak-47's are popular because they are cheap and reliable not because they are the best weaponry.

    you issue lisences to carry arms in international waters.

    and one anti tank round is not going to blow an oil tanker sky high.

    as well the pirates are **** can fighters. They have no training or discipline, just because you grow up in a war torn weaponry and have access to second rate weaponry does not make you a soldier.

    i recently read a military theory article that said the afghan security forces are suffering because as it is such a strong tenet of the faith to not shoot fellow muslims they often partake of the spray and pray method even after training. as a result even when fighting non-muslims they are so inured to this type of fighting that it persists. Ironically Al Qaeda does not because they know to fight compared to say afghan security or taliban militias.

    Not every boat is a heavily constructed tanker remember the kidnapped old couple on a boat supposedly in safe water. Also if you had enough RPG's you could hardly miss a Tanker and if it was one of the early single hull types it could be in danger. But the reall worry would be a speed boat loaded with explosives that would sink it and fast

    Thats actually not unusual most soldiers actually missed on purpose in WW1 and it has been a problem ever since and was probably one before that too. Hence today we have a greater emphasis on indoctrination of soldiers nowadays into reacting to set conditions in certain ways to increase the chance they will shoot to kill.
