    Weapons of Atlantis

    In the SG1 Earth used a whole variety of weapons to suit their needs; how come in SGA the teams tend to use only a certain few weapon types.

    Weapons Comparison:

    SG1- P90s, M9 Beretta, M60, 50 cal.HMG, MM1 40mm grenade launcher, M4A1, M249 SAW/SPW, AT4 Rocket Launcher, Claymore, C4, Flash and Frag grenades, Mortar M-224, M203 40mm Grenade Launcher, MP5, Stinger missiles, SPAS-12 shotgun, G3-SG1 sniper rifle, Zatnikatels (Zat).

    SGA- P90s, M9 Beretta, M60, AT4 Rocket Launcher, C4, Flash and Frag grenades, Wraith Stun Rifle, Wraith Stun Pistol, Ronon's gun.

    It seems to me that the SGA arsenal is lacking a bit of firepower. Each weapon in the SG1 arsenal has a specific purpose and different weapons should be used in SGA also. More firepower variety won't hurt. I know I would like to see Zats be used on the Wraith and see Ronon use some more variety of weapons (like sniper rifles and grenade launchers)

    (This thread is of an observation that I have noticed between the two shows. SGA has relatively no weapon arsenal.)

    in runner shep had a different gun, it looked like a M4 or something from that family. was gonna use it as a sniper. The SGC is a military complex though, Atlantis is a scientific civilian expedition of several nations, a military there would seem a little uncomfortable. But so far Atlantis has gotten more ships than Earth had at its disposal, so it kinda evens out
    Their white flags are no match to our guns!!

          Additionally shep had a M249 in rising briefly.

          I'm sure they do have more weapons in their arsenal it's just they don't use them. Perhaps their off world teams just prefer the P-90. let's face it, it's reletively small and compact yet it's quite accurate and packs a punch for a weapon it's size and still has a 50 round clip. all in all it's a good weapon for any situation. When the mission has called for itt there is more specialisation, like that m4 with scope atttachment in runner but for an everyday off world mission i'm sure the p-90 does just fine just like in SG-1 and also since most of the military contingent in atlantis is merely there to protect the city again the p-90 is a good all round gun for that situation.

          Keep in mind that most teams in SG-1 seem to use the P-90 or MP5 (Never got why they used the mp5's though they don't have much stopping power) This seems to be when a team goes on more exploratory mission. Afterall the main teams In both shows are more explorers or scouts. However as we've seen in SG-1 the more combat orientated teams use a variety of weapons as do SG-1 and SGA-1 when they go into a situation where they definately know for sure there will be a combat situation so they specilise their armaments. (Or at least shep does on SGA-1 seeing as the others probably don't have much experience with anything else.)

              well SGA has only been going for 3 years and SG-1 has had ten years. It's not as iff SG-1 got all those weapons straight away. They didn't use P90's til season 5 I think

                    Given that SG-1 is a military group, it would be understood that a large arsenal would be at their disposal. Atlantis is a scientific expedition made up of civilian and government scientists. There is a military presence, but not as prevailant as a military base. There are a mjority of untrained members that wouldn't be able to use advanced weapons. Atlantis also has a great many Ancient weapons, even if the inhabitants don't quite know how to use them yet.

                      never noticed that... what did they use b4 p-90's? (as like their main machine gun that they carried)
                      ..not even moros/meirden/merlin nor the rest of the ancients, could find a cure... for male pattern baldness!

                      What?.. Its a ship that goes through the gate.

                      ...Or it could mean a piece of our leg...

                      However, I must admit that I am partial to the tater tots.

                        SGC has greater variety of weaponary coz if they need weaponary, they just requisition from DOD logistics agency with a top-priority rating from the joint chiefs.

                        Atlantis expedition is working out of a budget from the IOA. They've got to purchase straight from the weapons manufacturers, after purchasing all that scientific equipment, there is not much change left. Besides, its cheaper if u buy in bulk

                          They used MP5's with a scope and torch attachments mostly.

                          As for SGA needing time to accumulate their weapons, as far as i can tell the two shows share the same props in that regard.

                            What I'm saying is that they should use weapons of variety more frequently.

                              Nah, at least the SGC had hellfire missiles, a 50 caliber MGs in the gateroom. Atlantis has a bunch of marines carrying P-90s.

                              The SGC had UCAVs but on the other hand, Atlantis have Puddle Jumpers, whcih are a lot more deadly.
