>Shooting a device will temporarily disable or overload it depending on what the story requires at the time That's not true though, in one episode they make a crate vanish with a Zat
>Staff weapons don't use this technology for some reason despite it being more useful in virtually every situation Staff weapon are made to rain fireballs upon people, to look impressive and like divine rage. See that scene where they compare a staff weapon with a p90 (inb4 /k/ rage)
Angel Campbell
sorry, quoted the wrong line
meant the one with the structures
Colton Thompson
>>Three shots will completely disintegrate a person but has no effect on any structure that is hit any number of time
thats been cut out. I'm such stargate nerd that i know that, kill me.
Anthony Hernandez
>>Staff weapons don't use this technology for some reason despite it being more useful in virtually every situation
I thought the higher ups purposely gave annexed races "shitty" tech so they couldn't rise up in revolt, hell we saw first hand Earth p90s are way better than the average staff weapon.
Leo Morgan
>inb4 /k/ rage u wat?
Josiah Parker
The P90 in that segment seems a bit more powerful than it would be in real life, but I doubt /k/ would mind a REAL weapon being better than a fancy fictional raygun
No, Goa'Ulds use staff weapons themselves at times and foot soldier often carry Zats.
Only that hand weapon is reserved for Goa'Ulds but they're the only ones that can use it anyway.
Although you could argue that Jaffa should be able to use them too since they also have Naquada in their blood, which is all you need since Sam is able to use them.
The clip completely exaggerates the P90's abilities
John Bailey
the writers have gone on record saying that they soon regretted ever introducing this weapon because of how ridiculously OP they are. they joke about it in the DVD commentaries a lot
Elijah Myers
best sci-fi gun ever
Jacob Murphy
>It's a sam out of uniform episode
Owen Hughes
At any rate, there are a ton of firefights where people are using rocks or walls as cover, and they get hit tons of times and are no worse for wear.
I'm only 4 seasons in so I'll take your word for it.
Maybe the Zat's energy flows to all the connected similar enough material, and if you hit a rock it's trying to encompass the whole planet crust or something.
Or more likely it was too much work to make a firefight scene with weapons that could destroy any cover.

BOSS SCENE in a shit episode.

The scar must have been worse than she let on. She never wore it again.

Chase Stewart
I'll be in my bunk.
Jeremiah James
i fapped to that scene so much, the image got all screwy after a while from the constant rewinding
Easton Jenkins
I wish this was a full length sex scene
Jace Sanchez
well, at least we have sam and martouf fucking in an elevator
It's true, also not a bullpup format. Every sci-fi rifle is based off musket design, EVERY FUCKING TIME!

Andrew Gomez
Also why would the kinetic energy of a bullet persist through teleporting?
Kevin Cox
magnets.
Luke Hughes
It has to, otherwise every time they transported you somewhere you're, at best, be knocked unconscious because every process in your body has stopped cold.
Obviously they have some way of changing the frame of reference for what gets transported, otherwise when they beamed down to a planet they would smash into a rock because they don't mate the rotation of the planet, or when they come back they don't splatter against a bulkhead.
Carter Gomez
>when they beamed down to a planet
always hated that they introduced beaming on Stargate (let alone relying on starships so much), made late SG-1 and Atlantis feel too much like Star Trek
Ayden Lee
Most processes in the body are chemical. Blood moves due to pressure which would obviously persist.
Landon Clark
>tfw sci fi shows will never be as good as SG1 again
it had the perfect mix of writing, story, production quality, actors
Jaxon Green
Dark Matter isn't too bad.
Angel Kelly
w-what is this?
I don't remember this episode.
Isaiah Wilson
You do know chemistry is also based on the movement of matter?
Jacob Robinson
i gave up after maybe five episodes, i really wanted to like it because so many of the stargate people are involved, but it just didn't do anything for me
Luke Gutierrez
>made late SG-1 and Atlantis feel too much like Star Trek
Yeah. I was glad Atlantis made it so the Wraith were able to block beaming on their ships.
Robert Kelly
so you're looking for a meme weapon?
Caleb Ross
Stargate XXX: a porn parody I wish
James Edwards
Mostly Brownian Motion, which is constantly switching speeds and directions. It would just continue immediately after all momentary kinetic energy is removed.
Caleb Parker
If all kinetic movement stopped, wouldn't that basically be absolute zero?
Jace Sullivan
it would be extremely sluggish
Connor James
Transporters and even replicators have no problem constructing something with thermal energy, e.g. "Earl Grey, hot".
Isn't the nature of kinetic energy different for a particle and some macroscopic object?
Jayden Allen
For
Andrew Diaz
Isn't the concept of "sexuality" different for you and normal human beings?
Landon Flores
Yes but I don't the see relevance here.
Colton Green
but they triple-shotted inanimate objects before to make them disappear
I'm sure if they made a canon-sized one they could use it to make whole buildings disappear
