I know the Navy pukes always had armed sentries whenever their ship was carrying nukes; from what I hear though, the interior sentries were armed with shotguns/pistols...sure you will have damage from the projectiles...but someone dumping a mag of 5.56mm would surely do more damage to them "things that shouldn't be shot at".
If nothing else, the ease that this sailor was disarmed is a strong arguement against issuing assault rifles for onboard sentries...
