Remember the First Episode.....

I was just reading about this game and they were talking about how they are not sure how powerful they are going to make the weapons....especially machine guns. Since a real machine gun can take down hundreds of people and all....but anyways....remember the first episode when the Jaffa's big heavy armor ACTUALLY worked....until the end of the episode when they start dropping the jaffa like flies....well anyways, I was just thinking they could make the armor that defensive.
(than there was that one scene we all try to forget)

In the original Star Trek episode Vulcans didn't even look and act as they do...
Also in the first episode Apophis doesnt redial the gate to get back to Chu'lak or anything...
But i suppose its an alright idea, although P90 bullets are specifically designed to be armour peircing rounds.
This always drove me absolutely insane!
It being the biggest NO NO in not only the series...but the movie also.

Doesnt drive me completley mental, but what does is how everything always blows up several seconds after everyone is clear, how the gate always knows when the last person is through and shutsdown accordingly and how almost every idea Carter ever comes up with at the last second works perfectly.
Anything that Carter does is perfect if you ask me.
Or why did that device the Tollans used that let them walk through walls never make them fall through the floor? I think they asked the same question on the "Wormhole X-Treme" episode.

Well thats plausable atleast. The Tollans were very mysterious and very high tech so its easily explainable in the fact that they thought of that, so they could have designed the technology not to allow them to walk through a huge solid mass (or fall though)... so they don't get stuck in a mile thick wall, or fall through the floor.
But yeah, almost everything Carter does is perfect.
I prefer McKay to Carter, hes absalutely hillarious.
"I'VE ONLY GOT 12 MINUTES TO SHUT THIS DOWN AND I'M VERGING ON THE EDGE OF A HYPOGLYCEMIC REACTION!". Priceless.
I vaguely remember hearing something about the gate having a timer (or other detection mechanism) that figures that after nothing has gone through after a certain amount of time, then it shuts down....but they have stretched that, a LOT.
When someone looks back just before stepping through...the gate stays open.
When holding position while waiting for the rest to come...the gate stays open.
This is a loophole I can't explain.
Also in the episode "Red Sky" (i think its called) Carter proves the fact that the gate has to be open from the outsiders perspective for a certain ammount of time before the subject matter is reintergrated... yet on multiple episodes we see people rematerialising instantly on the other end... for example Hur'rak goes into a disengaging wormhole in the episode where Anubis' mother ship gets destroyed... also O'Neill rematerialises instantly in the episode where he leaves the SG-1 to route out maybournes secret ops teams off world.
In a way, the wormhole would have to collapse in a cascading way....meaning both ends wouldn't collapse at the same time, but rather 1 end would start and the effect would ripple through the wormhole to the other end.
Therefore, an object that makes it through the gate before it shuts down on one end could essentially ride just ahead of the collapsing wormhole, and rematerialize on the other end just before the wormhole collapses on that side.
We are such geeks.
Anyway. *pushes up glasses*
I'm not sure about the cascasing way, thats a very valid theory... but theres no evidence really either way except the fact that it still doesnt allow the theory of O'Neill stepping though be valid, whree he instantly appeared on the other side... i'm more convinced its merely an oversight.
This is interesting. But during the Atlantis episode where a puddle jumper got stuck halfway in an open gate, there was a reason why they couldn't just wait in the cockpit for the gate to close and for the cockpit section to come out the other side (though I can't remember the reason right off the top of my head). If it closed in a cascading manner, the cockpit could have made it through.
There was also the SG-1 episode where Teal'c got stuck in a gate buffer because the destination hole closed before he got to the other side.
The stuck in the gate episode was explained by saying that the gate only reintergrates WHOLE objects, not only half of one...
And with Teal'c that doesnt really prove anything except he cascaded (if it works that way) and he was stored in the buffer.
