I have two things to say.

  • When Schrödinger was present in the SGC (season 3, when they dealt with the Tollan), the standard issue service weapon was still the MP5. The P90 was only introduced around the middle of season 4.

  • I don't think I can make fun of trekkies being obsessed with their trivia anymore.

[-] FartsWithAnAccent@lemmy.world 24 points 8 months ago

You can make fun of anything if you try hard enough!

Luckily p90s were issued before the Tollan were wiped out by Tanith.

So theoretically it's possible, but only technically. I got the feeling they didn't visit the SGC after they left except the two other times we see them. During O'Neill's "rebel" phase to expose Maybournes' off world shenanigans, and the very episode where they end.

I might be a bit of a Stargate nerd... And I can't even make fun if star trek nerds either because I'm one of those, too...

[-] RightHandOfIkaros@lemmy.world 25 points 8 months ago

Ah yes, the P90. Famous for only having a single 5.7x28mm bullet in the magazine.

[-] bloopernova@programming.dev 11 points 8 months ago

That's all they can afford.

[-] captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 3 points 8 months ago

You know I wonder how much they spent in blank ammunition for this show.

[-] RightHandOfIkaros@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

At least $5.

[-] Mirshe@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

Technically none for the first season or two when they were using the P90. FN didn't make blank 5.7mm stateside yet, so the armorers were buying regular ammo and converting it to blank ammo.

[-] Paddzr@lemmy.world 22 points 8 months ago

They do make civilian p90, called ps90. For all your home defense needs.

[-] FartsWithAnAccent@lemmy.world 20 points 8 months ago

5.7: For when you hate your wallet as much as you love firearms.

[-] rtxn@lemmy.world 16 points 8 months ago

Let's be honest, civilians don't choose the PS90 for its performance as a firearm. They buy it because it looks cool.

[-] rtxn@lemmy.world 10 points 8 months ago

I can't tell if that was a pun, but if it was, well done.

[-] FartsWithAnAccent@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

Accurate take.

[-] TragicNotCute@lemmy.world 14 points 8 months ago

I just chuck half dollar coins at intruders and skip the middleman.

[-] FartsWithAnAccent@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

I'm poor and use used D-cell batteries.

[-] FinalRemix@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago

Whoa whoa... this isn't Shay Stadium....

[-] MrSpArkle@lemmy.ca 7 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

I feel that the whole point of the P90 is the small form factor and the full auto combined with a small fast projectile that is unlikely to over penetrate. Given the longer barrel and lack of full auto of the PS90 you might as well get a five seven for home defense if you want that Gucci factor.

[-] rushaction@programming.dev 2 points 8 months ago

I'm not any kinda fun person. But I did once get a chance to use an FN FiveSeven at a range once and it was fun. I was shocked at how much more I liked it over the 9mm's.

[-] BleatingZombie@lemmy.world 0 points 8 months ago

Don't they fire 9mm pistol rounds?

[-] Mac@mander.xyz 8 points 8 months ago
[-] Psaldorn@lemmy.world 9 points 8 months ago

That's why the accompanying pistol is called the "Five-seveN"

[-] BleatingZombie@lemmy.world 0 points 8 months ago

Huh. TIL. The one I was looking at must have been chambered differently

[-] LilPappyWigwam@lemm.ee 11 points 8 months ago

Really unlikely. The whole point behind the P90 was as an alternative to 9mm and FN decided on 5.7x28mm. I've heard of (9mm) M11s being modified to look like P90s...maybe that's what you saw?

[-] FinalRemix@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

The Fiera Ferrari of guns... interesting.

[-] fiah@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 8 months ago

if you ever find a 9mm P90 let us know

[-] bloopernova@programming.dev 4 points 8 months ago

12.7mm P90.

Would certainly be spectacular.

[-] TopRamenBinLaden@sh.itjust.works 1 points 8 months ago

Russia kinda tried this already.

[-] Amanduh@kbin.social 15 points 8 months ago

I want to share this with someone but I'm not sure I know someone with the requisite knowledge to find this funny

Literally my first thought.

All the people with appropriate meme knowledge don't watch Stargate.

All the people in my life who watch Stargate wouldn't get the meme. They might get a chuckle from "lol random" type humor but that's it.

[-] Amanduh@kbin.social 3 points 8 months ago

How could this happpppen to meeeee ive made my mistakes

[-] thann@lemmy.world 15 points 8 months ago

POW! Right in the symbiote!

[-] SolOrion@sh.itjust.works 10 points 8 months ago

I can't properly express how much I love this.

[-] lingh0e@sh.itjust.works 4 points 8 months ago

Needs more zat.

[-] Semi-Hemi-Demigod@kbin.social 4 points 8 months ago

Now I want to hear Christopher Judge shout "tally ho!"

[-] psmgx@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

Pfffffff muskets and cannons would still be better. Tally Ho indeed!

Depending on which year of the show it was, this could be true!

A community for your defence shitposting needs

Rules

1. Be niceDo not make personal attacks against each other, call for violence against anyone, or intentionally antagonize people in the comment sections.

2. Explain incorrect defense articles and takes

If you want to post a non-credible take, it must be from a "credible" source (news article, politician, or military leader) and must have a comment laying out exactly why it's non-credible. Random twitter and YouTube comments belong in the Low Hanging Fruit thread.

3. Content must be relevant

Posts must be about military hardware or international security/defense. This is not the page to fawn over Youtube personalities, simp over political leaders, or discuss other areas of international policy.

4. No racism / hatespeech

No slurs. No advocating for the killing of people or insulting them based on physical, religious, or ideological traits.

5. No politics

We don't care if you're Republican, Democrat, Socialist, Stalinist, Baathist, or some other hot mess. Leave it at the door. This applies to comments as well.

6. No seriousposting

We don't want your uncut war footage, fundraisers, credible news articles, or other such things. The world is already serious enough as it is.

7. No classified material

Classified information is off limits regardless of how "open source" and "easy to find" it is.

8. Source artwork

If you use somebody's art in your post or as your post, the OP must provide a direct link to the art's source in the comment section, or a good reason why this was not possible (such as the artist deleting their account). The source should be a place that the artist themselves uploaded the art. A booru is not a source. A watermark is not a source.

9. No low-effort posts

No egregiously low effort posts. These include Social media screenshots with a title punchline / no punchline, recent (after the start of the Ukraine War) reposts, simple reaction & template memes, and images with the punchline in the title. Put these in weekly Low effort thread instead.

10. Don't get us banned

No brigading or harassing other communities. Do not post memes with a "haha people that I hate died… haha" punchline or violating the sh.itjust.works rules (below). This includes content illegal in Canada.
