    Given the current ammunition shortage, I want to know where I can get 100 rounds of 7.62x39 for twice that price!

    Re: Luxury yachts offer pirate hunting cruises

    I can imagine it it being a bit of fun! Replace the bullets with some seriously painful rubber ones or beanbags and armour the boats up left, right & centre and then let rip!

    Obviously iv not thought this through but im sure someone can sort out the minor details(ie not dieing) out!

    Ten years ago / In 1972, a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire... The A-Team.
