They use fear, like Pirates always have. They don't want to fight if they can avoid. Just carrying the RPG is enough to scare most people into not fighting, which is it biggest advantage to them, the proably have little actuel use for, it would cause to much damage when taking a ship. The IRA on the other hand goes looking for a fight, they want to kill.
