Stand By To Spray Boarders

Another answer to the Somali pirate problem comes from the lads at Unifire and Raytheon, who have come up with a high-powered water jet capable of taking out a small boat at a hundred yards. Opt for the pepper spray attachment and you can make their eyes water at 200 yards. And just to make it truly annoying, it comes with a small-craft tracking radar.

Wish I had one of these when I was cruising around the Hawaiian Islands. Would have made intership water fights much more interesting.

  1. A Kalashnikov sprays bullets with some accuracy to 300 yards, and I don't know what kinds of rockets those pirates mount. I hope the spray thing includes a shield for the gunner.
