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.

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...

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

[-] bloopernova@programming.dev 11 points 2 years ago

That's all they can afford.

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

[-] RightHandOfIkaros@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

At least $5.

[-] Mirshe@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years 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.

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.

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

[-] lingh0e@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 years ago

Needs more zat.

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

[-] psmgx@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years 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!

[-] Fades@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

There goes my hero

[-] Paddzr@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago

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

[-] BleatingZombie@lemmy.world -1 points 2 years ago

Don't they fire 9mm pistol rounds?

[-] BleatingZombie@lemmy.world -1 points 2 years ago

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

[-] LilPappyWigwam@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years 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?

[-] fiah@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 2 years ago

if you ever find a 9mm P90 let us know

[-] bloopernova@programming.dev 1 points 2 years ago

12.7mm P90.

Would certainly be spectacular.

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. Low-hanging fruit such as random Twitter and YouTube comments belong in the Matrix chat.

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 ‘western’ 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. E.g. screenshots, recent reposts, simple reaction & template memes, and images with the punchline in the title. Put these in weekly Matrix chat 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.

11. No misinformation

NCD exists to make fun of misinformation, not to spread it. Make outlandish claims, but if your take doesn’t show signs of satire or exaggeration it will be removed. Misleading content may result in a ban. Regardless of source, don’t post obvious propaganda or fake news. Double-check facts and don't be an idiot.
