It would have been cool if Stargate Command used the UAV+Missile combo that worked fairly well in "The Sentinel", in order to further soften the terrain leading up to the pyramid.

@@Ragitsu I was thinking that too. There for sure could have been a lot more military tactics added to the show. But the ones we got were awesome

They weren't afraid to fight them with ball caps on and not helmets

@@kenp7814 Helmets would only make death from staff headshots more prolonged.

@@olegkosygin2993 A helmet melted/fused to the skull? Yikes...

plenty of plot armour

@@pobvicWhatever his armor doesn't deflect, his skull will.

And managed to fire grenades from an internal drum feed shotgun!

i mean, it is safer than doing that raid with a shotgun

The Striker was probably standing in for a grenade launcher.

​@Ragitsu or its got "Boom" rounds

there's fragmentation rounds for shotguns, though i don't think they're commonly used.

@@kingarthur8616 There are breaching shells which are tiny grenades but they are not good for much more than blowing the hinges off doors. They certainly would not do what was shown in that scene.

​@@kingarthur8616 That was a lot of boom for a shotgun shell.

Which one?

@@MrWigglesWorth Yes

Hey! I'll have you know, that's not Vancouver! It's probably Chilliwack

@@anivicuno9473 I don’t think so. Because chilliwack is more valleys and fields, or at least was at this time, now townhouses and growing faster then trees. But I’m actually very familiar with Chilliwack. I used to go to the British Columbia arms collectors gun show every year in March then would stay at Harrison hot springs, you have to get out of chilliwack which is in the Fraser river valley and into the mountains to get these large forests

Weapons of terror and fear vs weapons of war.

In one episode, they fired hellfire rockets through the Stargate to clear several gun positions in front of a gate. They went through the gate, gained hight, returned to the gate and struck the passions from above

Halo does this really well. Their spaceships are incredibly inferior to covenant technology, no shielding, missiles that are pointless against shields. But they have MAC cannons firing depleted uranium slugs at 10% lightspeed. They designed it for long distance, long time to impact, fire and leave style space combat. But it just so happens to slice clean through covenant shielding and hulls at close range. Then on the ground the Covenant have shields, plasma weapons, and 1000 to 1 troop numbers. But they have basically zero ground doctrine, no training beyond one on one close combat so they charge human positions in clumps of troops. Meanwhile humanity has 500 years of urban combat doctrine under their belts.

they had sg teams from the marines, airforce,army. you are right that they used the uniformes to tell you who is who. the first team at the gate was a sg team of marines.

@@johnsmith-de3tl Glad to get some sort of confirmation on this after all this time just thinking it lol

It is also good to know that not everyone in the SGC is military, due to the complex and specific nature of the SG program they had to put in resources to get scientists and engineers qualified for the job from multiple fields, not all military, so it also has minor civilian operation status, even on the SG teams, hell Daniel himself is a civilian researcher and it is safe to assume other SG teams also have some civilians as well.

@@funkmantim2661 loved that they expanded on that for atlantis.

@@funkmantim2661 SG teams have different Assignment some SG units have Exploration assignment sg-1,2,14,15 some has solely combat role. and some are completely research based role, and some search and rescue

I think someone checked and you can just squeeze an Abrams through

It's not so much the problem of getting the armor through the gate. The Bradley is only 12 feet wide and 10 feet tall. The M1 Abrams isn't any bigger (it's actually 2 feet shorter lol). Stargates are 22 feet in diameter, thus leaving even enough room for a column of men to march on either side of the vehicle through the gate Problem is the US put the Stargate underground in a bunker. If they moved to above ground or even just turned the gate around (I've forgotten whether you can walk through a gate from both directions) and installed a lift that went to the surface and was capable of holding the weight of a Abrams or Bradley, they could've made it fit. I think they didn't do so because the SG teams are supposed to basically be light infantry. Vehicles usually would just weigh them down. As for storytelling reason, I think it was to make things more interesting and the teams more vulnerable. A lot of the problems encountered by the SG teams would've never of happened had they rolled through the gate on an Abrams XD

@@randomlyentertaining8287 The M1 Abrams used 1st generation (Chobham) composite armour. One of the materials used in older composite armours was ceramic plates. Ceramics are really good at absorbing thermal energy, such as a staff blast. The new Challenger II variants use 3rd generation (Dorchester) composite armour. That's what I would like to see rolling through the gate.

@@randomlyentertaining8287 It's later in the series, but they did eventually get access to teleporters. They could have simply teleported one into the gate room.

Getting a tank through the gate, easy. Getting a tank into the mountain base, hard.

@@d.s.151 Not even in emergencies?

I mean yea. But it’s kinda part of his character development. It’s not hard to learn how to shoot various guns. And after the situations SG1 has got in over the years I for sure would wanna learn how to shoot a P90 in his situation

@@jackoneill1336 It's not just that. Starting with Season 8, he became more like Jack. Shanks was trying to fill Anderson's shoes.

@@Ragitsu Yea I see what you mean. Part of that I do believe I think would have naturally happened too tho because of how long they were good friends. Season 1 Daniel is soooo much different from season 10 Daniel for sure

@@jackoneill1336 Season 10 Daniel is a nearly decade-long combat veteran whereas early Daniel was greener than a raw recruit.

@@danielhaire6677 Daniel has been killed and resurrected so many times and has fought countless enemies. I agree the mans a Vet now.

Tbf they lack practice by a mile...the tauri are the first real opponents the goauld faced in a long time...till then they mostly clash against each other...most of the time by dominating with a greater amount of ships from orbit. Ground troops are mainly for supressing their human slave population. Or as jack one time said: this is a weapon a terror...it’s meant to frighten the enemy....THIS is a weapon of war...it’s ment to kill the enemy.

@@Das_Kaenguru Well but they are kind of right. There is really no reason to use ground troops unless u need to seize something.

Well to be fair even the best warriors aren't going to do too well with bad equipment. Staffs aren't weapons of war, they are weapons of terror. Decades of training, symbiote enhancements, and they are still going to die against some dude with an assault rifle. I'm just a little shocked Ba'al didn't learn from the Tau'ri kicking Jaffa butt for years and either retrofit some staffs and zats into traditional gun shapes or equip them with Tau'ri weapons, Ba'al seemed to be the System Lord who most thought outside the box.

@@JounLord1 They don't just have terror weapons, but they're trained to terrorize, too. They are used to keep native populations in check, and if any rebellion succeeds, they just glass the planet from orbit. They have not been trained for real warfare.

@@JounLord1 Aiming a staff looked very difficult to me. More by instinct than marksmanship.

Like the Fifth Man ammo depends on the writers. Then again three or four rounds of 5.7 is apparently all that you need to put them down based upon said episode.

It's also amazing how people can reload off screen :P

For some reason the M16's were ineffective against Jaffa armor (a bit lol but okay) and this mainly apparently got rectified with the P90's and IIRC supposed AP rounds (plus being high capacity magazines).

@@WannabeCanadianDev just a nato myth to justify making the p90 and arming europe with it in case of a soviet invasion

@@TempoMontages NO. YOU WRONG. NO. THE P90 IS A PDW. IT IS NOT DESIGNED FOR THAT. IT WAS NEVER ADVERTISED FOR THAT. SG1 the show made up a random thing! ITS FOR CREWS IN VEHICLES LIKE TANKS. THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH NATO.

@@WannabeCanadianDev What did the other guy say and why are you yelling?

@@spectralassassin6030 He was claiming that it's a NATO conspiracy theory that SG1 uses the P90.

They do when the writers want them to. O'Neill took a sniper rifle from a member of SG-2 and SG-3 once had a sniper if I recall. Just disappears when needed

Watching this fight I was thinking a sniper would be awesome to have to take out that artillery encampment which would have killed all of them before Mitchell even got up to it. Or you could just sit on your side of the Stargate with a gatling gun and just spray lead in to the wormhole, or toss in a box full of grenades.

If this show was made more recently, they'd probably have better military advisors

@@Excalibur01 Which is funny because they had the Air Force and had consultants but the fact is Air Force aren't suited for this type of assault. They need a lot more combat troopers.

@@Vasun05 They could have at least consulted the PJs,

To be fair. Ba'al did lose a lot of his power and men during Season 7 and 8. In Season 7 he was fighting against anubis before joining him. An dthen he lost also a lot of troops at the battle of earth at the end. In seaosn 8 the rise of the Jaffa rebellion and the battle of Dakara costs him a lot of troops as well. Thats why he started to make his clones and reach out for a hidden base on earth in seaosn 9. I would guess from the episode whee jack was captured with the Tok'ra symbiont and this episode he would lost 90 percent of his military strength. Plus Sam, Jonas and Teal'C are working on a plan to rescue Jack. But general Hammond was a more cautious leader than General Landry.

Additionally, his shotgun has a cheat code enabled.

You would the avenues of approach would be well covered.

Yeah... but this is SG. ANYTHING is possible.

@@heavypen That's what the ad said... You have a valid point!

@@heavypen "An ascended being did it."

Probably wouldn’t do much good against energy weapons but it’s no different than how now of them wear plates or any other sort of armor.

In all fairness, I figure at this point in the series, they'd have figured out that the SGC were slightly more terrifying than whatever punishment there would be for retreating.

They aren't robots. Morale effects everyone.

​@TheNerdForAllSeasons that and also having a ship with much bigger guns then them coming at ya will make anyone run

an X-com type game Building up SGC, Sending SG teams teams out on missions, stoping Goa'uld.

@@miccrhaafetl5101 oh my god yes, an xcom ask game would be perfect.

Look up Stargate: Time keepers. A game in production made by a company with an actual track record of delivering. Might actually happen this time.

There are mods, though. There are Stargate mods for SW: Empire At War, and there is a KICKASS Stargate mod for Nexus: the Jupiter Incident. With Nexus Skirmisher installed, you can pit the slower-than-light human ships from nexus against SG-1's Daedalus and Prometheus, or you can have Ha'Taks get slaughtered by Ori, or, for example, have the Ori meet energy-devouring mechanoids from the endgame. It's fucking kickass!

A Stargate miniatures skirmish game (ala Star Wars: Legion) would be awesome. There were several lines of unofficial miniatures around for Jaffa however I think most were C&D'd out of existence.

The Shotgun loaded with explosive shells apparently

Especially with the reputation that particular shotgun has for being a piece of crap.

@@erwin669 Yet he Still Kick Ass

Thank you. I do take my time when choosing scenes for screenshots.

The power cable was loose.

Just noticed this oops

You saw them wear helmets much more frequently in the earlier seasons.

I mean, would helmets really help against energy weapons? Same with armor. Energy weapons don't care about a plate carrier.

@@spectralassassin6030 It’s never been discussed, of course, but ballistic gear has been upgraded in line with modern ordnance, no? A IIIa vest is way superior to a vest from the 80s. The SG teams carry Zat’nik’tel sidearms. One would think that the nice USAF eggheads who have been hard at work reverse-engineering everything, up to and including interstellar spacecraft would have upgraded the armour for the teams accordingly… 🤓

@@jeffreygreen8668 I'm pretty sure by this point they had an episode where they show that Dr. Lee creating a pseudo plastic vest insert that blocks staff blasts. Don't know why you can't line a hat w/ it.

Go go go!

The Al'kesh is a mid-range bomber.

I bet he kicked himself.

@@Ragitsu oh i'm sure he did.

Is that you, John Wayne? Is this me?

I imagine they (i.e., SG-1 if not the SGC) can get most any weapon they desire.

Looks like a Protecta Bulldog/Armsell Striker 12 gauge shotgun. Could be loaded with fragmentation rounds or super-magic-space rounds or just hit something explodey, because lets face it, the bad guys in SG all followed videogame rules.

@@Gellert1984 true enough, Jaffa may as well be wearing red shirts

Could be frag rounds

It's a Cobray Street Sweeper. It is a shotgun made in the late 80s and is widely considered to be one of the worst made and worst advertised shotguns ever made. It was declared a destructive device and effectively banned in the US in 1994. The ones that are still around are highly regulated.

Who or what is "Toretto"?

Seasons 8, 9 and 10 were released in High-Definition. Maybe one day Seasons 1 through 7 will *finally* be released in High-Definition.

@@Ragitsu Yeah I suppose so. The quality just seems better than the dvd quality. As far as I know Stargate hasn't been released as full HD on blu-ray, but only as upscaled to HD just quite recently.

@@lassetapani5111 From what I've gathered, replacing the SD CGI of the first seven seasons with HD CGI is (presently) too cost-prohibitive.

In an episode they used a UAV to paint two staff canon placements as targets then they fired missiles through the gate

To me, it seems that his shotgun was mocked up as a grenade launcher.

"The Sentinel".

Hey Virgin, it’s a tv show

They kinda did from the looks of it, but considering the top secret nature of these missions, they couldnt being to many people into the program, so no full armies

Snipers - or even "plain" designated marksmen - work well against Jaffa.

@@Ragitsu I was thinking Bra'tac could have taken them out

Over the years the crew had purchased a lot of 5.56 rounds thinking it would get more use so in the later seasons they were trying to use up the surplus

@@olegkosygin2993 Some Jaffa are actually decent in combat (remember Apophis' personal guard?), but they are a rarity.

@@Ragitsu Many of the Jaffa were conscripts. Ones like Teal's who were trained and mentored for high rank (and thereby higher competency) were rare. Also, the Jaffa were typically deployed as terror troops against lesser developed civilians.

@@danielhaire6677 now who does that remind me of

It looks like an Armsel Striker.

@@Ragitsu Good to know and thanks for the info. Just googled and indeed it appears to be so. It has a 7 or 12 round cylindrical chamber. Just wonder why would Col. Mitchell use it since P90’s 5.7mm rounds are more than enough to defeat Jaffas’ armour.

@@estellemelodimitchell8259 To me, it looks like the shotgun was mocked up (i.e., dressed up) to be some sort of grenade launcher.

@@Ragitsuexplosive rounds maybe ?

@@estellemelodimitchell8259 If you are planning on clearing corridors, very few things are as effective as a good shotgun.

The Zat gun was too powerful plot armor weapon. It was many times annoying that it wasn't as effective on first shot for SG-1 in many cases, and then same for enemies. It really brought dilemmas for the writers how to try to get around it creatively, without being too obvious. Like, having very limited charge, or something could have worked. So you don't want to waste the charge for shooting something like a cover.

@@katumus its true but like I said half of sg1 is military, Carter was a bit ify but as I recall in her early episodes off world she had and used military training. See enemy, aim at enemy, fire and kill enemy. Same with Jack he was black ops military no hesitation to kill unless it was kids as enemies. Teal'c yes I can see him wanting to only stun his jaffa brothers so they might have freedom later. And then whole team calming down for same reason but like early on there was no rebellion yet all jaffa served the enemy most were zealots with no doubts about their gods. Yet we c long firefights where both sides try to zat each other with earth winning most of them eventually. But they leave the enemy stunned for prob a few min with jaffa advanced healing to fight later. Maybe that's y u c so few jaffa in credits it's like the 1st movie to abidos theres only 20 jaffa on any ship and they keep fighting the same ones they only stun lol cause they keep waking up then catching up after jaffa team 2 or 3 gets dropped to cycle again. But really a military team should b 3 shot any jaffa they fight to stop that at least b4 the jaffa openly rebel then it makes sense to only stun maybe allies who could b undercover. And watever cover either side used was unaffected. Like u said trying to eliminate the op part of it could b a charge or do like mass effect 1 or 2 with infinite shot but adding cooldowns if overused or even make them swap charges out. But they could also do naquida as resistant to it since it was key for go'auld tech so cover would not vanish after being shot, ship wouldnt suddenly lose the wall into space after shootouts. Even have jaffa take multi shots if the have the armor on and say it had the metal in it. Then they can add it to SG tactical vests as inserts for big key areas to survive a few zats. It's funny the replicators a basic lightening shot weapon should work on were immune to it from the first shot from a zat at them. I think it was Teal'c that tried and he was super confused he just started going with zat over staff at the time and it does nothing to the little buggers. So he ends up going Rambo with big guns afterwards alot.

Narrative imperative. Note that even other ‘advanced’ cultures opted to bury their gates instead.

Probably not, but he also got his ass kicked a lot more than O’Neill too lmao

Jack was in at least two large (ground) battles.

@@Ragitsu maybe It was just the heavier action feel of the show after Oneill had gone.

@@mpittard21 The small-scale action tends to be more rewarding, I feel. Space battles in particular rarely do anything for me.

Teal'c is family.

there actually are explosive shot gun rounds btw. Not that he was probably using them, they just wanted flashy explosions and action. You have to admit it was pretty cool

"Cam, wait for backup!"

Ha!
