Originally posted by Lord YouIt was poison and not a virus. Besides, if Teal'c and Carter/Selmak could safely return to the gate after releasing the poision in Last Stand, then other Tok'ra should be able to. Esp. if the poison was delivered from injection rather than inhalation.-EARCK

Sure it makes sense. Why would you create a weapon like that if you still had to fight, bluff or sneak your way past a System Lord's guards to use it?Behold the majesty that is...GERALD!

I reiterate the fact that any poison, which is transmitted to the target via inhalation, must also work by intravenous injection. This fact must hold especially for this poison as it doesn't harm the host. Remember that the only method of transmission to the implanted Gou'old is through the host's bloodstream.
I don't understand why the physics of the poison is being debated. Granted, the super soldiers may have immunity due to Ancient healing rays or whatever they're called. ;-) However, the method of delivery shouldn't matter.
(BTW, this thread is straying off topic.)

An inhaled poison can be released into the air supply of a ship or station; you don't need to get to the System Lord's person to use it. If you made it an injection toxin you would have to get close enough that you might as well just shoot the guy.
As for why this is being discussed, you were the one who suggested that an injected toxin would be as effective. I argue that it would not be; not from the Tok'ra perspective; they want to kill lots of symbiotes for minimum risk, nt surreptitiously off a dissident with a poison-tipped umbrella.Behold the majesty that is...GERALD!

I understand why the poison was released into the air in Sumit and Last Stand. I wasn't debating that.
The situation is different with the supersoldiers, and I proposed using the same weapon in a different way. Since the soldiers have masks on (and they can hold their breath for a long time), it would probably be more effective as a dart form for against them. Carter's darts successfully delivered her tranquilizer; however, the soldier was immune to it. Perhaps the Tok'ra poison would be more effective.

The tranquiliser though was presumably the Goa'uld specific one developed from the stasis fluid in the Osiris Jar; a Goa'uld killing poison might well not work either. Given that we have a functioning weapon, there seems little mileage in testing one that might well not work.Behold the majesty that is...GERALD!

but if you used the weapon as backup, you could still test another weapon's (the poison's) usefullness. wouldnt you want to have more than one effective weapon if you could?

I'm just not sure how you'd go about testing it. Would you really want to shoot a super-soldier with a poison dart then give it a few minutes to see if it worked?
I suppose they could capture one, but that's fraught enough.Behold the majesty that is...GERALD!

Originally posted by AnubisSG-1 tried using darts before, but it just stays on the armour without any damage. It is basically impossible to eliminate one of the soldiers without the weapon SG-1 has. For example, it takes one soldier ten minutes to pass out when life support is disabled in a roomsigpic
