F302 weapons?

[Mister Oragahn]

F-302 have four missiles and some kind of machine guns mounted near the nose.
These weapons are a recent addition, since they were not present in the whole SG-1 7th season.

AscendedTimes2.0 says that there's also a naqahdriah based hyperdrive there.
Well, I doubt it. It has never worked properly and proved utterly useless safe for very specific missions.
There's therefore no reason why the hyperdrive would still be there, though I guess it still can be mounted. However, they probably kept their payload of naqahdriah.

Uh, IR = Light. You need a material that is transparent to IR, which is usually glass.

Have a look at the motion detectors on your lights or alarm systems...

Anyones know what those things sticking out of the F302 are?

Most likely they're air data sensors...most military aircraft are fly-by-wire (i.e. highly computerised), as their designs are extremely unstable which improves manueverability--they can only be controlled with a high degree of computer intervention. The computers use the ADS's to help determine atmospheric properties ahead of/around the aircraft and help in making the calculations necessary to control said aircraft.

Probably not. I don't see any "window" for the sensor to look though.

Could be the TCS then, I just remember one of them were the IR sensor.

i believe the F-302 has the guns like the ones used in the siege part 2, and they would fit because u think they are big but then compared to the f-302, it would look fairly fittable methinks

[SP90]

Intruder shows the F-302 have some sort of gun. What type idk, but it "sounded" like the rail guns used in Siege Part 2. Makes logistical sense since the F-302's gun and the BC-304's CIWS can share a common ammo.

[Spudster]

, i concur that they do sound remarkably the same...

In space, there's no medium which sound can travel through. In other words, ignore the sound effects in space; they're not supposed to be there.

[Milleniumlance]

yup...they need to add more missiles though, all that space down the middle of the fuselage you can fit 2 more down there...In Allies we see that our missile are VERY effective against darts...

[Major Zoidberg]

You'd think the F302s would carry nuclear tipped missiles, they can get in close where the daedalus can not, it would only take a handful of smaller missiles to cripple a hive ship, as for the ori...i got nothin

I know that but when you heard the sound in the episode, it was during the shot when the camera is inside the cockpit. Makes sense for there to be air (a medium for sound to travel) inside the spacecraft right?

[Spudster]

not if the sound is being generated outside the cockpit, which means that inside the cockpit you wud hear nothing except if something hit you

[SP90]

When the railgun was firing the noise you hear onscreen is probably the capacitor charging/discharging plus vibration from the weapon. If the point of origin of the sound is surrounded by vaccum then yes you won't hear. But in this case the source of the sound is from within the spacecraft itself, which you will hear because the sound waves can travel through the structure of the ship.

Sci-fi shows just pushes it too far sometimes and you the "whoosh" when ships fly past. Without sound effects, it will be boring.

This is technically true, although rapid fire from rail guns would provide sound resonation throughout the hull of the ship...createing sound in the cockpit.

EDIT: SP90 beat me to the punch, but at least I'm not alone in my explanation of sound resonation.

[Commander Aegir]

The F302 could do with phasers, or mini railguns instead of missiles
