Ronon's gun

[Wraith Scientist]

They weren't Genii guns, they looked like the Genii guns, but fired red energy bolts. Here's an omnipedia entry: Sadatan Rifle. His pistol is just a smaller version.

I still maintain that ronan modified a normal gun to shoot the pulses ALA intar tech.

What language is this? So I can respond. (I usually feel a bit out of whack when Tech is talked..I love the forum for it, I just can't discuss) but what is an ALA? Intar? I got tech.

An Intar is a weapon that jaffa use in training. They look like modified human weapons that fire red bolts of energy that stun.

Thanks WS....now that I know what that is..

Ronon would have to seriously modify the Intar to get his gun. It has like several levels...and the Intar is like only red pulses, but youd' have to fire a few times to get your guy stunned. Ronon needs one shot and it's a shot that seems to hurt, to take you out...remember

Spoiler:

what it did to John in Conversion?

Imagine that blast on a normal person. And then you turn it around and it can shoot your head off, or take out an organ in your stomach. How does an Intar compare, when all they have in common is red pulse (and only during stun)?

Maybe it could be modified human weapon but can't we just say that it's specific to his people or possibly inherited by a group of Aliens or people still unknown to us? I just don't see the Intar or human weaponry as being a good enough explanation to the style of Ronon's gun. His gun is like 'Dirty Harry' x1000.

ALA is a synonym for the word: "like" and Intar are bullets that are used in the episode Rules of Engagement ! They stun you, they don't kill you.

dude they were all in caps...I know what 'ala' means..I just thought this was someting like when people mention ATA gene and it's an acronym for a term.
Yeah read that in the link I was given by WS..thanks _Anubis.

[Blue007]

lol yeah he probaby got it off ebay or something

hmmm i always assumed that his gun came from sateda at the same time, i don't entirely remember what sateda looked like... we'll probably see how advanced sateda was in 'sateda' though. hmm remember ronon's meant to be a weapons specialist too.

Agree. Dex is a weapons specialist, I bet he modified it to suite his needs.

Okay when I read weapons specialist, I thought it was in using guns--a wide variety.

Spoiler:

As seen in 'Duet'.

Didn't know the guy was a gun builder as well. Or are we reading 'weapons specialist' wrong?

And when did they say he was a weapons specialist...can someone give me a link or something. I just remember him in 'Runner' saying

Spoiler:

Specialist Ronon Dex, name and rank.

I didn't know he specifically said he specialized in weaponry.

By the way this helps along my fanfic hence the reason I need to get these minute details cleared up.

[eri-chan]

actually good point. sometimes i don't pay attention to all the words on a screen... and ive seen a few people mention he was a weapons specialist. i certainly know he's a specialist... but of what? since i saw 'weapons specialist' floating around here, i assumed that was canon.

maybe he was called that coz wasnt ford meant to be some weapons expert? and to some he's the convenient replacement. at the same time, he does have a sword and some cute claws. and i keep on remembering duet was it? when shep was showing him the weaponry. hes quite the marksman.

*runs off with the faries*

I too thought that it was just Specialist....in Runner, rewatching it, and also in a few other short snips of the shows...Weapons Specialist came up....I will check again just to be sure of the facts, and not just remembering from "reading" it as Weapons Specialist.

[ancientaction]

his race was advanced. the wraith found that they advanced. culled what they could, and desimated his plannet.

Please if you can get that info it would be much appreciated. I've never seen it said, and I'm usually careful about what is said on the eps...especially when writing my fics. As I've never seen weapons involved with his term specialist I wasn't sure if that was correct.

As a Specialist..he could have been a strategist in military battle, and from what I saw in 'Runner' he seemed to be the ones giving the orders to the guys in his jurisdiction. Being a marksman doesn't necessarily make you a specialist...as many soldiers are amazing marksmen.

Again just need some clarification.

Ronon's official bio says:

Ronon Dex is a man of around 25 to 30 years. His homeworld was culled by the Wraith and all but a handful of his people were killed. Ronon is a soldier, having served in a military regiment on his former homeworld. He is also a weapon expert, has a dry sense of humour and is not afraid to speak his mind.

The Gateworld Character Description says:

Once a military soldier on the planet Sateda, Specialist Ronon Dex became a runner when the Wraith took him from his home.

All I've heard in canon is "Specialist" during the episode "Runner", but what sort of specialist hasn't been said, I don't think. I think its safe to say he is quite a weapons expert though, and he could easily have modified a gun to his liking.

[Lida]

Aw, come on, we all know where Ronon got his gun......from the prop department. Sorry, I had to say it. Mea culpa, mea culpa.......
