Load of BS, all it will do is make a lot of blind RICH pirates (once the do-gooders have led them through the courts), such weapons are against the GENEVA CONVENTION, now you might like to argue that as pirates they are outwith the convention (and I won't stop you ) but it is a hell of a step to take legally and if upheld would likely result in an increase in barbarism from said pirates on those captured......

Dazzling is OK, permanent blindness is against the Convention.

Active Denial Systems are a bit harder to avoid.

Hilarious image!

The correct punishment would be to make them walk the plank.

I think shelling their bases and villages from sea would be more entertaining

flamethrowers would be good too.

or wait for the pirate boat to pull alongside and drop a large weight (concrete block/anvil type thing) into the boat sending them directly to davey jones.

container ships should have weighted 40ft containers along the sides with quick release catches to help repel boarders.
