> till now, had someone to "repel boarders"

Not really. The standard procedure to "repel boarders" is to:

1. Try to outmaneuver the pirate boat. 2. If that fails, point and blast fire hoses at pirates.

Crews don't [usually] carry firearms because of insurance liabilities. If there's no crew on board, then more robust defense mechanisms can be used.
