Okay, so one of the primary weapons on Tau'ri ships (Pre-Unending) is the rail guns. So, where are the BIG guns? Shure, those small caliber rail-guns work great as point defenses but how about some bigger stuff for ship to ship capabilities. How about some 280mm caliber guns -- mach 5 rail gun style prefered instead of mach 2+ chemical explosive (gunpowder) if possible.
And here is the shells we could use in them -- Nuclear Artillery Shells -- Scroll down the page until you come to the first actual nuclear blast test photo -- that shell was a W9 -- and had an atomic yeild of 15 kilotons. Bet that would do a lot more damage then those little bitty caliber things when it comes to enemy capitol ships --- the missles don't seem to be getting through but the guns do -- so why not get some BIG guns and fire nuclear yeild shells.
You can also check out the W33 atomic shell which the U.S. finished disassembling in 2003 and we should therefore still have all the parts to reassemble and slate for use only on the Tau'ri ships -- I'm sure the Russians wouldn't mind (that's why we disassembled them) if we used a few on some bad guys out there in the rest of the galaxy. Heck with all the Naquada enhanced ordinance we already have getting permission to reassemble them for such a purpose as a secret addendum to the SALT pack should be small potatoes.
And one more note -- with the tech we have now we should have no problem whatsoever souping up those 1960's designs that were crude but worked with some modern engineering, captured alien technology, and a little bit of Naquada or Naquadria to get the yeilds up to the megaton level.
