Ronon's gun

I suppose there are variants between the technologies, just as there are slight variants between fire arms on Earth. Possibly the Satedans (?) were able to develop a power-cell that has a long-life capability, possibly nuclear? Whist the Travelers had to make do with using more conventional power-cells.
With the amount of trading that apparently takes place in the Pegasus galaxy, it'd stand to reason that probably many cultures use similar fire-arms such as Ronan's, with slight modifications and differences. Possibly each culture has modified the fire-arm with each trade, and it's really been developed by numerous cultures over time.

Originally posted by Archaeis View PostThe point of this post is that The travellers had little battery packs that they replaced in their guns several times throughout the episode. We have never seen Ronon's gun need any reloading.

I sort of remember seeing that but would have to go and watch again to make sure. The reloading of ammo is almost a moot point though. How often did/do we see the SG-1/SG-A teams reloading their guns? It seems more often than not that they go a long time without having to reload when they reload. If Ronon's weapon has a much longer and better ammo/firing capacity then it would make sense that he's rarely need a replacement charge.

Mentioned limited ammo but we rarely saw them change ammo, and besides it's been a while since I saw any SG-1 where that happened. Though your comment brings up the point of how often do we see Ronon firing his weapon compared to the others? He might appear to fire a lot but that's one "bullet" compared to the 1-3 or more per shot (often repeatedly in bursts) of the other SG-A members who fire much more frequently.

What episode was it that had Ronon changing the cylinder? It's right on the tip of my brain.It's a dangerous business going out your front door.
