Since the early SGA days, I've been wondering how effective a Zat would be against the wraith. The seem quite effective.

I wonder if it would take two hits from a zat to take Ronon down, just like the wraith stunner takes two hits to bring him down. But then, would the zat kill him?
In essence, which is stronger- zat or wraith stunner? I'm thinking zat. Teal'c has been taken out by one zat hit, so I guess Ronon would as well.sigpic
It was Arrested Development

Yay!!! Zats against Wraith!!! Finally...
Still not actually on Atlantis the location... but we're getting there...
Sheppard: Dr. Weir, you didn't see that big box of Zat guns we had packed at the SGC?
Weir: I thought you had them?
Sheppard: No, I distinctly remember asking you to bring them...

One shot would stun Ronon ,but two shots from a zat would kill him just like any other human.
(Used to be the case in canon that three zat shots disintegrate the object/victim ,but that was dropped quietly years ago .)
Two shots from the stunner just render him unconscious .
The Wraith stunners by comparison appear weaker ,as it seems the primary design is to disable,and keep the Wraith's victims alive to be fed on later.
(Unless they have a "kill setting" option ? )

On a mostly unrelated note, a few months ago when I was traveling I noticed that the sound of the security scanners that particular airport was using sounded exactly like zats. It was terribly distracting, and I knew then that I had watched far too much Stargate!- Life after Stargate -Agent Carter * Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. * The Blacklist * Castle * Elementary * GrimmHawaii Five-0 * The Mentalist * NCIS * NCIS:LA * Once Upon a Time * Rizzoli & Islessigpic

Good catch,jys .
Just a guess : I wonder if it was a case of SG-1 and the other teams using standard radios from when they were created in the 90's ,then the Atlantis Expedition and their teams getting the full benefit of the newest Bluetooth technology ?
( Not sure how long ago Bluetooth was invented .)The place to "Gate" to during Outages for updates and info:

However a wraith stunner can not kill no matter how many time you shoot them (unless they have a kill setting we don't know about.) Stunners (from what I can figure) work by inhibiting the electrical signals of the body, Paralysing them.Please do me a huge favour and help me be with the love of my life.

I doubt that stunner has a kill setting, cause the Wraith need humans alive so they can eat them. If they kill the prisoners there will be no dinner
And zats are stronger because lets face it, the Goa'uld didn't really cared if someone lived or died. To bad is that we probably won't be seeing zats again on Atlantis in the near future, if eversigpic
