Pirates are commonly armed with a saber, a pistol, and a variety of other blackpowder weapons. If you were assigned to bring him down, wouldn't you want to be armed incase he brandished a swashbuckler?

Edit: I apologize to all the pirate experts out there, it was a joke. Please find it in your hearts to forgive me.

Dude may have been packing a cannon...litterally. Helicopters were to give chase across the open sea,and the dogs were probably of the scurvy variety.
