This is what is needed. I'm really, what the hell, you got a few small boats pulling along side and taking over large merchants. Time to arm the merchant crew also.

No. They are no trained fighters. Nor would I base infantry squada aboard civilian ships. And I wonder if arming them this way may change the legal status of the ship.

Give weapons only to trained hands, else they may do more bad than good.
