He was willing to kill himself right there for Shepherd and Teyla, but you could see that he had some fear in his eyes. Teal'c was here, ready to die with a smoothness and calmness that hell you'd have to be on drugs to possess, and he even cried when he was forgiven. That was a very notable detail

It was enough to mitigate M16 rounds in episode 1 to a degree significant enough that O'Neil had them switch to P90s. But almost certainly you are right, and the armor is optimized for decorative purposes first and practical purposes second. Doubtless Teal'c knew exactly what its weak spots were and exploited them. The goa'uld's obsession with appearing strong was always their achilles' heel.

[@knghtbrd]

@@quillquickcard8824 If you know something about those two rounds and the guns they come out of … The M16 would likely be chambered in 5.56 NATO, the P90 will use FN 5.7. The 5.7 has far less range and stopping power, but less recoil and more accuracy. The P90, though, is a lot more comfortable to hold/use and while the AR platform uses 30 round magazines, those P90s use 50 round mags. I just tell myself that SG teams are using standard FMJ copper-clad lead in the M16, but SG teams switched to the moe close-quarters optimized P90 with specific steel-core armor-piercing rounds.

[@boosterh1113]

Most of the planets the Goa'uld rule over are fairly primitive, armed with medieval-level tech, or often worse (just look at the slingshot-crossbows the guys here have). That Metal armour will probably do pretty good service in turning away slings and arrows. As O'Neil points out when comparing the staff weapon to the P90, the Jaffa are equipped primarily for domination and intimidation to keep the peasants in line, not for fighting a war against an enemy with its own industrial base, professional military, etc. The Jaffa are tools for oppression first, fighting limited conflicts against the comparably equipped Jaffa of other System Lords second, and a force for engaging external threats last.

[@brucetheloon]

@Nero X The question still stands though, the Tau'ri gate had no DHD, only a human designed dialing computer. The system lords never demonstrated the ability to dial a gate without a DHD, and it does stretch the boundaries of credulity that the Jaffa could have figured out the passwords to the dialing computer and how to operate the program as well. Logic dictates that Apophis and his Jaffa would have been stuck on the base, if not in the embarkation room, while many, many P-90's were being positioned.

[@Rensune]

Lord Orio. Same with the Staff weapons: their effective range is ridiculously short

[@NamelessBody]

I argue against that point. It's clearlly maille and plate, both of which historically existed and provided excellent protection. I don't see how the armor which visibly covers almost the entire body and is made of metal and arranged in a way it has been in ancient and medieval times (with some liberties of course) would be any less effective against blades than it really was. We do not see the details of the stab though. Chances are Teal'c does know a weak spot. Although that's a really bad place for a Jaffa to have a weak spot in their armor... But that's the only design flaw imaginable here. Since we do not see the attack, instead of attacking the stomach as is implied, he might be cutting at the wrist, which isn't nearly as protected and also quite lethal, although it would take some time to bleed out, what with the symbiote and all.

[@ServantOfOdin]

Uh, even if it's maille and plate, it's of a non-earth material. See the many times Teal'c or some one else drops their front plate to the floor and it clangs like some super dense heavy stuff and not remotly like metal. We do know that the "maille"-looking area is prone to stab-attacks over and over throughout the series, where the blade is pushed in sideways, around the area where kidney/liver is.

[@KalashVodka175]

I think Jaffa armour is more about intimidation, tradition and decorum than anything else. Tho they are actually fairly utilitarian when most of the humans and primitive species outside of a few developped worlds like earth only have at best medieval technology to fight with. A sword or a spear could do nothing to pierce the kind of plate the jaffa wears, ensuring rebellions are unlikely to succeed even when the rebels vastly outnumber the jaffas.

[@SeaJay_Oceans]

I would think the snake heads have wireless linking to the Weapon, with additional target tracking and target sensors, and weapon status., That said, 1:58 Christopher Judge demonstrates Teal'cs True Warrior spirit - He accepts the wrongs he's committed, accepts the lives he has taken, no exuses, no ' just following orders ' mumbled apology.
