Stargate wouldn’t be C4, it would be a Zat’nik’tel.
one shot stuns
two shots kill
three shots vaporizes
Full credit to Shanks for asking the important questions how badly designed a plot device it is. “How long between shots does it reset on the same target?”
I love that the p90 was literally designed to be the opposite. it was supposed to be issued to truck drivers and other support type personnel (and close quarters peace time antiterrorism type stuff).
I mean to be fair it was not “designed” at all. They needed to get a body out of the way in one episode and didn’t have time to rewrite/reshoot so one of the writers was just like “Well, the body just gets shot again and disintegrates…”

Nah man. P90
This (waves P90) is a weapon of war.

IIRC the 5.7mm was purpose designed to punch through paratrooper body armor. It absolutely is a weapon of war.
Everything is relative.
Hey you, get that target swingin a little
Nothing has been disintegrated since 1969
Just the stun itself is funny how it works - sometimes it takes out people for hours, sometime they are good to go pretty much right after.

No don’t worry about that!
I always assumed it was like dosing medication - depends on the person’s weight and age.
It’s an electric current. So it would be as long as the charge is still present. If it wears off, it resets
Er, so as soon as you stop pressing the button?
