What I found interesting in this time of customized rifles and fancy optics is that these guys all seemed to be shooting
steel sights with fairly standardized rifles. I wonder if this is by company issue or personal preference?

The way I hear it, just before getting into port, they have to throw the rifles overboard. So they are a one trip weapon. Not saying it's true, but it is believable.

ALso, did anybody else wonder who gets to scrape and paint the railing where the security guy with the camera is trying to put round  on them but the target is below the viewing lie so his rounds are actually hitting the lip of the rail. They are around here: https://youtu.be/tpNpDM-enLw?t=26s. It looks like he hit the edge 4 or 5 times. Not that I am complaining, these guys are trying to drive off people meant to do them harm.

Noticed that too, marksmanship wasn't exemplary.  Also didn't think about the rifles being a one cruise firearm, but would tend to make sense.  Notice the second boat wanted nothing to do with that action.  LOL  :laugh:
