German auxillary cruisers, merchants with hidden guns, are a rather special breed. Besides, they were closer than 1000m when they opened fire with the 2cm Flak guns.
But seriously, a ship like the Minensuchboot, when attacking a merchant, would never fire its 2cm guns, that is just a waste of ammo.
