You stick a rifle up to the face of a pirate because he's threatening your waters. Plus, he could be loaded! Pirates are usually hunting for treasure, so you might have just been lucky enough to stumble across one who has some on board. Dissatisfied, you cock your rifle to show you mean business. With treasures and dollar signs in your eyes, you angrily butt the barrel of the rifle up against his chest. Sucks to be you!
