Edit, I chose the above ordinance based on the round fired, being cheap and inert. With a range within visual sight. Close enough to confirm threat. Like AK waving guys in shabby clothes and barefeet.
That would be quite a weapon for Q-ship or merchantman. It could even have some deterrence value. I'm just worried that pirates may make following calculation:
AK-47 + L9 = no $$$
MM38 + L9 = $$$ (if showing it was enough)
