I wanted to mention that you forgot that pirates have cannons among their weaponry, but you covered it nicely. Seriously, fuck a shuriken. Gimme a cannon any day! |

Yeah but you could see a pirate coming a mile away, you'll never see the ninja coming :phear: |

In the middle of the open sea, you can see the ninja. Then - shoot canon! Dead ninja. |

Cannons are very inefficient at hitting small targets, though. Assuming a ninja can run on water, because a ninja is considerably smaller than a pirate ship, cannon fire from long range would have a significant chance of missing if the ninja is running on the water. At close range, yeah, dead ninja. However, if a ninja is able to avoid the long range fire of a cannon long enough to get to the pirate ship, good chance of a dead pirate. :P |

Musket fire and pistols on the ninja when it gets to close. It can't outrun a ship, the pirates can just chase 'em down and gun 'em down. |

Not really being up on ninjas, what is this run-on-water B.S.?? |

Broadsides of grapeshot aren't necessarily accurate, but one can't argue with their effectiveness. Avoiding grapeshot is very, very difficult. Even for a ninja. |

KV: Fair point. I was thinking of a normal cannonball as opposed to grapeshot. NH: You mentioned shooting at a ninja on open sea. I assumed that was what you were referring to, otherwise how would you shoot a ninja on open seas unless he was on a ship? |
