Yeah, marq, seriously. He's been told that there's an imminent attack and he has two options:
1) seal the hatch and wait for help since people outside the sub have a much better vantage point and don't have to go through one hatch to come in and out where they'd be easily ambushed or
2) grab a gun (I'm sure as a submarine captain he has extensive experience using a gun in close-quarters combat situations, sure) and roll on out the hatch to lay the smackdown
Only in the the 24-verse does someone pick #2.
