In case you were wondering how a cruise ship beats pirates

Pretty nifty gadget, but somehow if push comes to shove I doubt it'd have as much effect as a 50 cal mounted on the bow. 😉
 
Sweet, that noisemaker is awesome.
Perhaps I'll save up some money and get one myself. It would be cool to blast at all the ghetto blaster idiots in their cars.
 
As cool as it is, it's utterly useless if your targets are wearing earplugs.

I have a bottle of 31 db noise reduction earplugs on my desk. The price tag on the top says $6.99.

Yeah, but their back-up system is incredibly lethal - a former Ghurka
 
Haha that's the only weapon they allow the public to see.

🙂

EDIT:

To the naysayers - you've never had this pointed at you at full power. The dB figure is half the story. It's the frequency and type of sound that's emitted. If I had decent hosting I could send some warbles you could listen to.

The compare to a smoke alarm is a good one. That piercing piezoelectric device rings at 80 to 90 dB but sounds much louder and above everything else. Imagine 115+. Closer where you shouldn't be? Try 145+. That's really, really loud. Standing next to a diesel loco when the horn blows is 145+. It's enough to make your heart skip a beat or two.

If they really wanted to they could make it ultra low frequency and make them crap their pants.

Yes but low frequency would mean the power and physical size of the device would be prohibitive. Also since lower frequencies are non directional everyone on the ship would have said (bowel) problems!

Blast them with 50,000 kW/mm² 2450 MHz so they are well done turkeys in three seconds would be better.

Personally, I think a CIWS loaded with all tracers would be better, but that's just me. Although I'm not sure that they make tracer rounds for it, they would be best due to their added visual deterrant effect.

I'd rather see a 50 cal cut their pathetic little boat in two and watch them sink into the murky depths.

Try firing that rpg underwater! :laugh:
