    I wonder what round was used, at what distance...
    M24A2 rifle........................................$1500
    .308 FMJ round....................................$7
    headshot at 50-100 yards at sea..............priceless!

    i doubt they used anything bigger than the .308 FMJ, anything bigger would be totally unnecessary. at that range the .308 would have enough inertia to remove a limb if the shot were placed right.
    it is mathematically impossible for either hummingbirds, or helicopters to fly. fortunately, neither are aware of this.

    yeah I was thinking 7.62 as well...

    I didn't realize how close they were though...

    would have been sweet if they did that from a mile away with a .50 cal though...

    But how did they see inside the enclosed lifeboat? Thermal Scopes?

    I read that one was visible through a window, but there was no explanation on how they saw the others, or how they knew the pirates were pointing an AK into the hostage's back. Maybe thermal scopes, but then how would they know which ones were the bad guys? For all we know these SEALs may have been cyborgs with x-ray vision.

    I'm sure that determining who is who through thermals would be easy. Thin bald guys with AKs.....MIGHT be the pirates. ;)

    I prefer my cyborg theory.

    I heard two were exposed with heads sticking up through the hatch and the other through a window. When all three were lined up, green light was given.

    In case you were wondering what the pirates looked like when they still had heads:



    I, for one, like the no pants, unlaced Timbs look. I think I'm going to try that at the bar tonight.
