Not sure...in runner the weapons looked like energy weapons in the flashbacks. And the weapons did have a red glow when fired.

Spoiler:

Maybe it's traveler technology

[Argosy]

A possibility I never see raised is that the energy weapon that Ronon sports (& the ones we see in the flashback in “Runner") may be technology left over from a bygone era when the Satedans were a more technologically advanced race before their cities had been razed to the ground over & over again.

If our civilization came to an end how many ordinary people would be able to make some of our most common technology from scratch?

Joe Mallozzi said on his blog we would find out more information on Ronon's weapon early in Season 4. It could be in Reunion or Travelers

Spoiler:

because Ronon meets some fellow Satedans in Reunion and in the Comic-Con trailer we see Larrin, the leader of the Travelers, have the same type of gun as Ronon. Maybe Ronon found his gun on some technologically advanced world while he was Running and the Travelers also found these type of weapons after the Wraith wiped out the inhabitants of the world? We will have to wait and see.

In 'Runner' we see them using most of the same stuff that were seen in 'Sateda'. Which is projectile weapons like humans have. The energy weapon is probably, something he picked up on his travels over the past seven years. My bet is he took refuge in a Lantean settlement somewhere, then found the gun. Saw it was much better than anything he had used before & took it with him.

The gun isn't of lantien design, though. Lantien guns are more futuristic-looking. Ronon's still looks like a police pistol circa 1975.

[Ehecatl]

He was a runner so maybe he picked it up on a ravaged world. Maybe we'll see more weapons like his in the up coming episode "Travelers".

We definitely will see at least one more weapon like Ronon's in Travelers. See the following post for pictures from the S4 Comic-Con trailer. Beware of spoilers!

Or you can look at my sig!

how do we know she just didnt take ronans gun?

[Redhooks]

Because

Spoiler:

the Travelers capture Sheppard while he is piloting a Puddle Jumper alone on a test according to the spoilers that are out about Travelers. I would say it is highly unlikely that Ronon gave Sheppard his gun for this mission. We will know for sure in 7 weeks and one day!

thats a good point.....

the ancients would of craeted something there way like in aurora those hand guns or something like the asurans.

those guns are advanced but probaly not ancient, maybe a race advanced enough but was wiped out

On a related note, I have long been puzzled over the lack of style unity among the Satedan and the Genii weapons shown. In "Sateda", we've seen perfectly conventional-looking fragmentation grenades, a shotgun that is clearly a Striker/Streetsweeper, a double-barrel piston that looks like a low-gauge sawn-off shotgun and a weird three-barreled rifle that seems to need reloading every two-three shots. Among the Genii, we see pistols that are similar to Colt 1911, fairly conventional looking submachine guns (fitted with big scopes that would be more appropriate on a sniper rifle)- and the same three-barrel rifle design that just plain doesn't fit into the category. I mean, if they know how to make a normal SMG, why bother with convoluted and inefficient designs like that?

We don't actually know what a Lantean gun is, like other races they could have had many, especially if some were working independently from those on Atlantis on other planets around the galaxy.

It could have even been maybe one of the first energy weapons designed when the war broke out initially. Then they upgraded to more efficient models that allowed them to get off more shots.

It's possible that other advanced races could have created it before they were wiped out by the Wraith. However I still feel it's to do with the Lanteans or some offshoot of them.

that is gonna run out of power if he keeps on shooting it the way he does lol

[garhkal]

True dat.. Actually i wonder how it is charged? IIRC one episode it looked like he 'reloaded it'..
