They used guns to minimize damage to the ship. Judging from the video, they either fired inert rounds or HVPs.

Helicopters landed marines from USS Tripoli and seized the ship. It’s all on video. No shooting to be seen.
It's a simple matter of you either disable the engines or you seize the ship, because there's no towing it out of there, there's no repairing at sea and there's no inspecting cargo while at sea

What's on video shows they attempted at seizing the ship and them targeting the engine room, you're going to have to square a circle to try to explain why they'd try to disable the ship if they had the ability to seize it, as opposed to the far more plausible explanation that they tried to seize it, failed, then targeted the engine room.

Monday is the new Tuesday.

It would not be surprising if the negotiations isn’t actually about a deal but a tough negotiation to seek an extension. Besides, if the war resumes then the blockade will cease to function in the current form.

Either the US sends their ships far away from Iran to conduct piracy or they conduct military operations on Iran. Unless the “blockade” was really just a ruse for their amphibious and landing ships to get closer to Iran.
