Hey folks, I'm new to Gateworld and this is my first post. I was just wondering if anyone else has noticed how they have dwarfed the power of Ronon's pistol. I remember when they first introduced Ronon and then had that scene with him and Sheppard on the shoting range. And his gun shoots that foot and a half hole in that target. Or when his chasing that wraith through the forest and he leaves huge crater in a tree. But lately it seems that they have really brought the power of it down. Like in Lost Tribe when he shoots that wraith in the head and it barely leaves a burn mark let alone blasting it apart like it should have. Anyway I just want to know what you guys thought about it.

I did notice however, that the guns like his that the Travelers had seem to run out fairly quickly and they didn't have any more power packs for them - so how does Ronon keep getting power? Still a great gun, maybe it's running purely on Ronon's rage

It is still more powerful than any other hand gun in the show, but I think there are several main reasons why they dialled down it's power:
1. It gets boring if all Ronon has to do is shot it once
2. Sheppard tells Ronon to mostly keep it set to Stun
3. The shows rating is '12'; (season 4: 15) seeing a Wraiths head getting blown apart may be considered slightly too gory and they'd have to up the rating cutting off a large percentage of their viewers.
4. It's just another un-necessary expensive graphical effect. (They did the same thing with Wraith Prison Doors, they used to have a really cool CGI effect, then suddenly they just go up and down)Last edited by bobsenior; 13 May 2009, 02:41 AM.sigpic
