Just imagine what the police chief would have to say if these poor saps encountered Mr. R2D2 (or MK15 Phalanx CIWS) found on Navy warships as opposed to .50 cal found on this oiler.
"We have reports of a boat missing off Jebel Ali with 5 people aboard..."
Here's the land version of the Phalanx in Iraq:

50-75 rounds per second or 3000-4500 rounds per minute.
I just hope people learn that just because they may be able to get away with this kind of crap on SZR, it ain't gonna fly with a naval warship. The survivors were lucky they only got peppered with a mounted .50 cal. Had they encountered R2D2 (Phalanx CIWS), they would have gotten vaporized.
