Talk:Stargate: Atlantis

Another new project of mine. I am not going to post made up prop guns that in the series fire energy and aren't either real guns or dressed up.

ronan's gun, power source

Hi, in your pictures from the studio it shows that the energy 'battery' on ronan's gun is rechargable. Your own comments say he must have an 'unlimited supply' of these clips. Surely if its rechargable he only needs a handful of clips and some way to charge them?

Its not a clip! MAGAZINE Jesus...

Technically it's not a clip or a mag. It's more like a power cell since it's an energy weapon and as the title states, it's a power source. Excalibur01

There is the thought that he might have a limited supply or they might be rechargable but it's less likely that he has a limited supply since on Season 4 Episode "Travellers" one of the guards has a weapon of the same type a Sheperd states, "My friend has one of these. I always wondered where he got it from", leaving us with the fact that it might obviously be rechargable.

Clip gag

In the first episode of season 2 McKay tries to fire his Beretta, but when he pulls the trigger the clip falls out! While it's a hilarious visual gag, I'm pretty sure it is impossible because the clip can only be ejected intentionally. Can any one confirm this for me? Pravda616

If his finger was big enough and wrapped around the trigger fully he could press the release on accident, or if it had a left handed release the base of his finger could have hit it. But I think it's funny how at the top of this discussion is an argument about proper usage of clip vs. mag, and then you say clip in this post. gg sir. - Gunmaster45

If it's a button release and you aren't careful, it is possible to accidentally press the release Excalibur01 14:34, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

Hah! I couldn't help it, I like to call a pistol mag a clip. Is that really SO wrong? Anyway thanks for the pointers. I guess McKay being such a noob, he really could hit the release by accident. Pravda616

It's wrong as in it's an incorrect term. A very common mistake anyone not informed about guns say all the time. Excalibur01 19:59, 29 July 2010 (UTC)

Well thank you, now that I have been informed, I'll never say it again. Happy? [User:Pravda616|Pravda616]]
