Pretty sure the P90 is the equivalent for Stargate.
*gestures to MaâTok staff weapon*
This is a weapon of terror. Itâs made to intimidate the enemy.
*gestures to P90*
This is a weapon of war. Itâs made to kill your enemy.
Most brilliant moment in all of science fiction. Actual demonstration of an actual weapon mixed with meta commentary on science fiction weapons in general and how villains canât ever seem to shoot straight.
I donât know if I would say âin generalâ, but definitely in the Stargate universe.
It doesnât make that much sense for Star Wars, but then the universe doesnât really explain a lot why, just that things are the way they are.
Star Trek seems to deploy handheld energy weapons because they provide a greater range of responses, from less than lethal to able to take out armored opponents with a single weapon.
Or how the Asgardians kind of look down on human tech as primitive and yet have to bring in humans for help because they solve problems.
Like having a weapon to kill Replicators that accelerate a metal chunk with a chemical explosion.
you know i like to compare this to how we view the bow and arrow compared to guns
yeah the bow is primitive but it also doesnât shred your eardrums and arrows can usually be fired again, which makes it actually pretty good for hunting even to this day!
Yeah, C4 is not exactly a ranged weapon unless itâs paired with an impact detonator and flung via trebuchet.
âYeah, C4 is not exactly a ranged weaponâ
Not with that attitude it isnât.
Donât Jedi throw them all the time? Like doing spinning out boomerang moves or is that just the games?
Meanwhile true SG fans cry in P90s
I mean, zats were so stupid they were practically written out of the show.
Even Jaffa sticks looked better than the ârandom plumbing supplyâ weapons.
Those Dalek space plungers had hella better energy beams than jaffa sticks. When that shit hit you, you died.
Jaffa stick hit? Standard paramedics gear and youre good to go.
Just a heads up, thatâs the tenth doctor represented in your meme, but the 11th doctors sonic screwdriver. Oh boy wouldnât that be embarrassing, hope somebody got fired for that blunder.
