    Different models of Zat'nik'atal

    Are there more than one type of zat'nik'atal? As in different looking props.
    When the orginaly appeared at the end of season one they fired long streams of energy but nower days they seem to fire short pulses.

    The also look different. On is just three sticks with hinges, the later model appears to be a many segement "U" between the handel and the cobra part.

    Is this just me? Or are there more that one style of zat'nik'atal?

    well as far as the energy blasts go im pretty sure they are different. i think it might be a production cost thin since they use them so often. the first blasts were longe greenish blue streams with smaller streams of energy cascading around the central blast. now it is just a blue quick burst. its probably cheaper for them to do just the quick unclear blue burst.

    as far as the design goes, i dont know i havnt notced a difference but ill have to go back and check

      i belive that they may have changed the zats. at the end of sesean one whaen they fired the zat the head would recoil, now it doesn't.

        to save the sholvah the hassle, i'll have a go- mabe the zats just need a recharge. like in season one, all the zats liberated had full liquid naquida things, and now the ones they have and find are all a bit low on the power front?

        as for the props..umm... its optical warping... due to light from venus refecting off of swamp gas...uhh.. yeah, thats it.

                well its not like staffs are that acurate to begin with so what does it matter? i have always thought that it was a weird place to holster a weapon, it just seems really ackward

                  Well the Jaffa have been sh*t since the Zats appeared, maybe you found the root of the problem

                    Going from memory (I haven't watched Season 2 in soooooo long) the only time I can remember zat blasts being the long blue-green colour is WtSG/tSL, in which case I put it down to the lighting on the ship.

                      in the feature film, the jaffa of ra had another weapon holstered on their hip, that no other system lord has ever used...

                        are you talking about that fan type thing with the jackal head on it? i think that was just some kind of blade weapon or just ornamentation

                            i just pulled up the scene on my dvd. the scene where ferreti gets knocked down and has the anubis gaurd over him shows it clearly. there is a handle like thing in the shape of some kind of animal head, i think its a jackal and hangin under that is a curved peice of metal that looks like a half sun and has stripes on it it doesnt look sharp or even particularly like a weapon so i think it is ornamental
