Talk:Stargate Universe

Colonel Everett Young using a G36 as a crutch onboard the Destiny not a UMP, and a UMP is to short to be used as a crutch

Could someone help me identify a gun??

On the man lying down (Colonel Young) he has a gun in the cross draw holster and i think it looks alot like a 1911 but i'm not sure so if anyone could help :D

Beretta 92FS.-protoAuthor

Are you sure? I don't think it looks like a Beretta....

Not sure entirely.-protoAuthor

Looks alot like a Beretta Cougar-S&Wshooter 19:20, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

Custom M1911. It looks alot like one of my guns. MoviePropMaster2008 20:41, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

The gun's grip looks EXACTLY like the one off of a Cougar-S&Wshooter 21:58, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

You said that already. At any rate, when the show actually airs, we'll get better looks at the sidearms anyway. :) MoviePropMaster2008 19:38, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

Definetely not a 1911 grips to wide and bulky

could it be a Para Ordnance varient

Yeah, my first thought is a double stack 1911. The grip looks a bit like my Kimber BP Ten II, but this is obviously a full size pistol. Take a look at this Para Ordnance P14-45. You can almost see the beaver-tail grip safety in the shadow and the barrel looks like a 1911, definitely not a Beretta. Looks pretty damn exact if you ask me... Eagleye1022

We can say that it is a 1911 from a production still... added the picture and the 1911 to the article--Colonel Swede 15:16, 9 April 2010 (UTC)

So is this Stargate done ala Battlestar Galactica?

Do I smell dark sets, moody lighting, grainy footage, shaky hand held camera work with snap zooms, edgy morbid themes? MoviePropMaster2008 20:40, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

Yes. And silly looking aliens.-Oliveira 21:56, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

Well BSG didn't have silly looking aliens. Plus all those shaky hand held camera action and rock music are for the trailers and promo. We'll have to see. I am NOT so sure about this new guy who seemed like a random kid they took from a teen comedy movie. I mean, almost all the characters are too young to be in Stargate. We're our Shepard/Cameron character? Where's our sexy or tough alien team member? Where's our fearless leader? Excalibur01 02:29, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

Well, I think the whole point of this series is to show what would happen when you took people pseudo trained for off world exploration and left them without leaders. They wanted to make this show more about the human element. That's probably why they don't have any battle hardened fearless leader types, because they're not supposed to be.

There may be more drama, but at the cost of believability. There are plenty of moments of brain-bendingly stupid or incompetent behaviour in this show (very little of which happened when Richard Dean Anderson, or Ben Browder, or the cast of Atlantis were at the helm), especially on the civilian side. Sometimes I wish there was a character like Galen Tyrol from BSG (played by Aaron Douglas--he needs his own page with his own new Canadian show "The Bridge") to get up and scream "This is not a democracy! We follow the LT!" into some of the civilian's ears, as he did in Season 2 of nBSG. --Mazryonh 17:00, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

Screen caps up

Most are from promo photos, but a couple are from trailers. Have yet to see one P90 Excalibur01 02:27, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

And the first episodes of this new series is out. Not too exciting and not one gun fired in the entire episode. Disappointing already Excalibur01 14:46, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

Screen cap

I'm just wondering what program are used to get the screen caps??

Well I download the episode and my player, which is Jet Audio, has a button you press for screen caps. I have to time it cause there's a delay in the button, but that aside, it works pretty well. I have to watch out for which kind of file I save it under. And whoever you are, don't forget to use "Excalibur01 14:45, 6 October 2009 (UTC)" to sign your username so we know who said what.

Air III: M9

While watching Air III i noticed that Greer chambered his M9 several times without shooting it inbetween. First when he draw it on Rush when they begin brawling over water and then later when he gives it to Eli. --Colonel Swede 16:25, 11 October 2009 (UTC)

Number of weapons

I remember that in the season premier, they were counting the guns and said that including sidearms, they only had 23 with them. I guess this limits the guns to what we have already seen on the show so far. --Gunkatas 19:48, 17 October 2009 (UTC)

I remember Greer saying 40 something --Colonel Swede 12:15, 29 October 2009 (UTC)

It is 23. I recorded Air 1 and played it back. At first I thought Greer said 43 but it's 23. Bad Boy

P90

I removed the P90 until it is seen on the show --Colonel Swede 12:15, 29 October 2009 (UTC)

Saw the P90 on the Stargate magazine a month ago. It will be on the show. They just haven't aired it yet. I put the P90 section as a placeholder to save me TIME. Excalibur01

Check out this video

Just released last week, armorer Rob Fournier shows off some of the weapons used on the episode "Time".

"It's called a mag. A clip is something women use to put in their hair." Ha. Love it. Very nice.--Gunkatas 04:44, 1 December 2009 (UTC)

This is a great video, this guy know his stuff, except when he mis-identify the G36K as the KV. Look like there will be dual sight G36Ks coming. Didn't the guy clearly stated that the UMP fire .45 ACP rounds? How come the UMP section says .40 instead? --Wildcards 07:55, 1 December 2009 (UTC)

The "KV" is what H&K calls the export version of the G36K now, so he actually got it correct. As for the UMP section, that's a mistake on the part of the person who wrote the section. -MT2008 14:22, 1 December 2009 (UTC)

But the G36K he got in his hand clearly got dual sight, so it can't be the KV right? --Wildcards 17:01, 1 December 2009 (UTC)

Nope, because the carry handle/sights are easily replaceable. The only difference between the German military-issue G36s and the Export models is that the Bundeswehr gets the dual sights for free, while export customers have to pay extra for it. The only way to know the difference for sure is by looking at what it says on the receiver. But any movie or TV show filmed outside of Germany will be using export models (including this show, which is filmed in Canada), so short answer is that the G36Ks in this show would have to be the KV model. -MT2008 19:01, 1 December 2009 (UTC)

I put down that the UMP is a .40 because it's hard to tell because both the .40 and the .45 UMPs uses the straight magazine. So if it is IDed by the armorer that it is a .45, then change it. I just lost my torrent site for movies, and TV shows, so until I find a new one, I won't be capping a lot anymore. Excalibur01 01:19, 2 December 2009 (UTC)

It is a .45. At first I thought the armorer said .40 which is what I put down but it was very late at night and I didn't hear it well enough. My bad on that one. Also, whoever put the weapon holds 27 rounds and the armorer are wrong: The UMP .45 holds 25 rounds standard while the .40 and 9mm hold 30. Bad Boy

So is it a .40 or a .45? In the video the armorer said that it held 30 rounds. I'm guessing that 'officially' it is a .45 in the stargate universe but it's really a .40 so that they can have longer shooting sequences with it. My guess though.--Gunkatas 17:03, 2 December 2009 (UTC)

Well in the video, the Armorer, say it fires a .45, but he also said it held 27 rounds. Maybe he got it mixed up. Excalibur01

The Lucian Alliance

I see that the Lucian Alliance are using Chinese QBZ-95's and I'm sure I spotted a Saiga 12 along the way too, can anyone get screencaps and confirmation on this? --ShootoutWithDave 18:55, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

It's the Norinco type 97 since it's made in Canada. Dont think I saw a Saiga. Care to point out which scene had it? Excalibur01 13:42, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

Ah well spotted, I knew they was some form of Chinese assault rifle. I'll attempt to locate the scene with it and get back to you. --ShootoutWithDave 18:55, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

It's odd since we can assume this is the same armorer that armed all the Stargate series, not one single P90 in sight. I swore i saw TJ with a P90 in a magazine once Excalibur01 02:37, 17 June 2010 (UTC)

M16

during the new episode (sesion two episode 3 Awakening) i saw a M16A2 or A4 with a M203 can some one get a screen shot

Just rewatched the episode and didn't see any M16s or M203s, can you narrow down who was carrying it or when in the episode it was? The closest thing I saw was that the nameless soldiers carry M4s which sometimes have a torch on an offset mount on the side, which from certain angles could possibly look like an M203 at a glance.
