I believe that small arms fire was used to suppress gun crews on merchant ships. Just a guess.
The loading screen talks about suppressing enemy merchant ships with your flak guns. I wonder if this actually has an effect, and if so, what the effect would be. Does it hinder the firing of their guns? Does it keep them from sending distress calls? Does it keep them from manoeuvring effectively? I swear I've had merchants try to ram me in SH5 -- maybe an effect of suppressing fire is that they have to keep their heads down and don't see you properly?

No, it's the Detain Bernard at Gunpoint ability. Shuts him in the head so he doesn't interfere with the goings of the boat.
