Depends on the round and the type of armour.Rochey wrote: Armour made of what?
And how thick armour can modern weapons penetrate?

The standard 5.56 AP NATO round used by most Western nations will go through 1/4" steel. The 7.62mm NATO AP will go through more but I don't remember the exact width.Rochey wrote:What would be considred a 'normal' round? My knowldge of these things is lacking.

I could also see Stargate happening in real life because its top secret and we'd never know about it.ChakatBlackstar wrote:I think Stargate series is very realistic, assuming the parts with the ancients and ancient egyptions are accurate. Honestly, I could see these as real people, I could easily see myself talking with a member of SG-1 and having a normal conversationg with them.

Lets just be happy that very few Jaffa were as combat skilled as teal'c.

Well, Teal'c was a First Prime and he took the title from Bratak (sp?) who was obviously still quite the warrior. Therefore Teal'c was basically a "best of the best" type.Deepcrush wrote:Lets just be happy that very few Jaffa were as combat skilled as teal'c.

Yeah, it also made SG-1's job a lot easier.

Having decent weapons also helped.Rochey wrote:Yeah, it also made SG-1's job a lot easier.

P-90 are such great weapons! I wonder if the US will ever replace the MP5's for them.

I love that scene.

The biggest problem with the P-90, while it's a good weapon, is its 5.7mm calibre. The MP5 uses 9x19mm, which AKAIK is the most common round in the world - which makes logistics a lot easier.Deepcrush wrote:P-90 are such great weapons! I wonder if the US will ever replace the MP5's for them.

is a pretty damn impressive weapon. I caught it on an episode of 'Future Weapons' at my ex's house.

"Popular Science" had a write-up about it, too. That rate of fire, for a .45 round, with as little recoil as it has, make that a very impressive weapon.
