[QUOTE="soberups, post: 744936, member: 14668"] I watched the show a few times, but it lost all credibility with me when the captain conveniently decided to wear body armor up on deck during a confrontation with a whaling ship, and then pulled a flattened "bullet" out of the vest and claimed to have been shot. I replayed that part, and it was pure BS. He was wearing Level II or III soft armor, which will [I]only[/I] stop pistol bullets or shotgun pellets, yet they never got close enough to the Japanese ship for a handgun or shotgun to have had any chance of being fired accurately. Only a scoped hunting rifle could have made the shot, but the bullet would have punched right thru the vest he was wearing and killed him. It was a lame publicity stunt, and at that point I quit watching the show. [/QUOTE]
