DEATHBUNNY FANFICTION GLOSSARY

.38 Caliber Revolver: Carried by Air Policemen in 1969. This is a simple 6-shot double action revolver made by Colt or Smith and Wesson. (Seen in "1969")

40mm Grenades: These are fired by either the M203 or M79 and typically have a maximum range of 400m. The most common types are the M433 HEDP (High Explosive, Dual Purpose, useful against troops and light armored vehicles) and M406 HE (High Explosive, useful against troops) both with fuses that arm between 14 and 27m. Typical burst radius is 5m and most way 0.51 pounds. Also available are ground marker smoke rounds (red, green, yellow), star cluster rounds (burns for 7 seconds, white, green, red) and star parachute rounds (white, red, and green; burns for roughly 40 seconds as it drops).

60mm Mortar Ammunition: More later... (Probably seen in 7th Season's Morpheus.).

AK, Generic: This is the design Stargate seems to be using as a substitute for all other full-sized AK-varaints. Note the muzzle device, or lack thereof, and wooden furniture... (Seen in Stargate SG-1, in "The Tomb" and "Desperate Measures." )

AK-74M: This is the current issue Russian assualt rifle, equivalent to the M16-series. It replaced the venerable AK-47 and AKM in Russian service beginning in 1974 and is slowly being supplemented in Russian service by the AN-94. This is a variant of the earlier AK's (Avtomat Kalashnikova) using a round similar to the older 7.62 x 39mm necked down to 5.45mm for a higher velocity. Also different is the much larger muzzle brake used to help in controlling recoil while firing automatically, though it diverts muzzle gases sideways... The rifles' magazines are of a 30-round laminated steel and plastic design, often found in orangish-brown colors. Unlike most Western designs, the AK-series of weapons use a safety/selector that moves from "Safe" to "Automatic" and then "Semi-automatic". It also does this with a relatively loud mechanical noise called "AK-clack"... The rifles sights are not intended to be zeroed in the field and require a special tool to adjust, although the rear sight is adjustable for range. (Probably seen in the beginning of Desperate Measures where the Jaffa is stolen from the Russians.)

AKS-74U "Krinkov": This is a short barreled version of the Russian AK-74 with a skelotonized left-folding stock. This weapon is what the Zastava M85 was derived from. It uses the same plastic magazines and 5.45 x 39mm ammunition as the AK-74-series rifles. The bell-shaped item at the end of the barrel is a flash hider because the shortened barrel doesn't allow as much of the propellant to be burned as the normal length barrel of the rifle. This weapon is commonly found in use be Russian special operations troops. (Not seen in Stargate SG-1, shown for comparison to the Zastava M85)

AN-94 "Abakan": The planned replacement for the AK-74 series, this weapon is unusual in the fact that it uses a "counter-recoil" system whereby the first two rounds of a burst (fired at 1800rpm cyclic) are fired before the weapon begins to move from the first shots recoil. After the first two, the cyclic drops to 600rpm. This system, in addition to the further refined muzzle brake, make this rifle very easy to control on automatic. It's also unusual because the magazine (it can use the AK-74 magazines and a newer, four-column type of 60-rounds) is canted to the right to avoid interfering with the counter-recoil system. Unlike the previous AK's, this weapon can be set for "Automatic", "2-round burst","Semiautomatic" and "Safe". When fired on "2-round burst", it sounds as if only one round was fired. The stock folds to the right. The barrel reciprocates when firing as part of the recoil system. Furniture is black plastic. (Not seen in Stargate SG-1, shown for comparison to the AK-74M and the Yugoslavian models in "The Tomb")

Bizon-2 SMG: Russian 9mm Makarov submachinegun using a 64-round aluminum helical magazine (drum-like magazine with rounds feeding in a screw-like pattern). Operates similar to the AK-74M and can be fitted with sound or flash suppressors and muzzle brakes. Fitted with a side-folding stock. Fires at 650-700rpm depending on ammunition used. Maximum effective range of roughly 100m. In use by Russian law enforcement and counter-terrorist units. Also in possible use by Russian Special Operations troops... Can be concealed relatively easily, is very controllable, reliable, and accurate. Safety is stock AK (Safe -> Auto -> Semiauto.) Rough equivalent to the MP5 in Russian service. Can also be had in 9mm Parabellum, .380ACP/9mm Kurz, and 7.62mm Tokarev. (Not seen in Stargate SG-1, real world Russian.)

Beta C-Mag: 100-round dual-drum magazine for the M16-series weapons. Shown here with a carrying pouch and loading tools. (Seen in Stargate 7th seeson.)

Browning Hi-Power: Never seen in Stargate SG-1 and never US military issued. Included only because I have a thing for them.

C7A1: Current standard Canadian Service Rifle. The C7A1 fires full automatic and semiautomatic fire. The C7A1 uses a 5.56mm (.223 cal.) round in 20- or 30-round magazines, typically the plastic Thermold (tm) 30-rounders. Can be fitted with an M203 Grenade Launcher or any accesory designed for the AR-15/M16 series. The differences between the C7 and C7A1 are the absence of the rear sight and associated carrying handle. The differences between the C7A1 and the M16A2 are the retention of full automatic versus the M16A2's 3-round burst, the retention of the slimmer profile M16A1 barrel, and the usual fitting of the 3.5x ELCAN optical sight. (Not seen in Stargate, per se, yet most of the M16 props seen are probably these or the Carbine version, the C8/C8A1.)

C8: Carbine version of above. (Not seen in Stargate, per se, yet most of the M16 props seen are probably these or the Carbine version, the C8/C8A1.)

Colt Aircrewman: One of the more common aircrew survival weapons found in the survival vest before the introduction of the M9 and M11 pistols. This is a simple 6-shot double action revolver made by Colt with as short of barrel as possible. Very short effective range and very low power. (Not seen, real world.)

Demolition Charge: Blocks of Composition-4 with an adhesive backing and a remotely activated or time-delay detonator able to be set for up to 24 hours delay. Only goes off with other explosions…can be burnt or dropped and not go off.

Dragonuv SVD: Russian sniper rifle. It can be fitted with a bayonet, which is odd for a sniper rifle, and uses a special variant of the 7.62x54Rmm Rimmed round. The PSO-1 Scope is calibrated to this round and can also detect active infrared sources. Usually issued with a 4-cel ammunition pouch. Unlike the AK's, the bolt stays to the rear after firing the last round is fired. (Seen in "Metamorphosis".)

ELCAN Combat Optic: Canadian-designed and used combat optic. Very rugged and sealed with tritium illumination. All sighting adjustment is done through the weapon's mount, allowing the sight to be very solidly made. (Seen in Stargate SG-1, 7th season.)

FN P90: A compact Personal Defense Weapon used by Stargate Teams in recent years (Since Season 4). It has a synthetic body (in green or black), a translucent 50-round magazine on top, a built-in optical sight, and can be fired by both left-handed and right-handed shooters equally well. Fires a special 5.7mm round and weighs 5 pounds 10 ounces empty. It fires automatically at 900 rounds per minute. It can be fitted with a laser in the fore-grip, a laser mounted to the side of the optic, an additional optic on top, or a flashlight or two on the side of the optic. (First seen in "The First Ones")

GAU-5A/A (XM177E2): M16 variant (See M16A1) with an 11.5" barrel used by the USAF Security Forces in the Mountain. The Army model has a forward assist, the USAF models don't. This model also has a collapsing (not folding) stock and fires automatically and semi-automatically. Can not normally be fitted with an M203 grenade launcher (see M203 note). (Seen in use by Security Forces and all the women in "Hathor")

Grenade, CS (Riot Control): Bursting type CS grenade... (Not seen in Stargate SG-1)

Grenade, M7A3 Riot Control (CS): This is a canister type grenade that emits an irritating chemical that causes tearing, difficulty breathing, and couching. It's something like a strong pepper spray in effect. It can be used to flush people out of rooms and small structures without harming them. (Not seen in Stargate SG-1)

Grenade, M67 Fragmentation Grenade: The body of the M-67 hand grenade is a 2.5-inch diameter sphere designed to burst and fragment when detonated. It has a casualty radius of 15 meters. The grenade contains 6.5 ounces of high explosive. Each grenade is fitted with a 4-5 second delay fuze. Weighs 14-oz. Olive drab with yellow markings. (Used on several occasions by Colonel O'Neill)

Grenade,RGD-5 Defenseive Hand Grenade: Manufactured by Russia and China, this is a defensive fragmentation grenade using 3-4 second delay fuze actuated by pulling the pin and releasing the safety lever. (Not seen in SG-1).

Heckler and Koch MP5A2: Possible optional issue for Stargate Teams until augmented and partially replaced by the P90's. Only difference between this and the MP5A3 is the (interchangeable) stock. Generally found with 1.5x Optic, and forearm mounted flashlight. Can be fitted with dual or triple 30-round magazines. (Carried by Jack O'Neill in the movie.)

Heckler and Koch MP5A3: Standard issue for Stargate Teams until augmented and partially replaced by the P90's. Generally found with collapsing stock, 1.5x Optic, and forearm mounted flashlight. Fires fully-automatically and semiautomatically. Can be fitted with dual or triple 30-round magazines. Can also be fitted with a sound suppressor (as seen in "Thor's Chariot") "Navy" models use an ambidextrous safety/selector lever, a barrel threaded for suppressor use, and are otherwise the same. (Seen in Stargate SG-1)

Heckler and Koch MP5KA4: Compact version of the MP5 intended for concealed carry. Can be found with or without sights and with or without a barrel threaded for a suppressor. Can use any MP5 magazine, but shown here with a 15-round box for concealment. Seen in use by the NID who hunted Colonel Maybourne.

Heckler and Koch MSG90A1: Sniper variant of the German G3 rifle in 7.62mm NATO. Differs form the infamous PSG-1 by having a select standard barrel, iron sights, and is lighter. A competitor in the same program with the Stoner SR25 shown later and the XM25 M14 variant. (Kowalski carried one in the movie. Jack uses one in the 7th Seasons's Orpheus...)

Intar: This is the name of Goa'uld non-lethal training weapons. What is unclear is whether it is a generic term or specifically the energy weapons in the form of MP5's and Staff Weapons used in "Rules of Engagement". Crystal powered, the weapons function similarly to the weapons emulated and have adjustable power settings that appear to range from painful to complete unconciousness. A further development seems to be a magazine replacement for the M9 pistol that allows the standard weapon to be used as an intar and, by replacing the magazine, as a standard sidearm or possibly just a blank-firing pistol that can fool those familiar with an actual M9. Identified by red crystals in the base of the pistol grip or the magazine replacement. In the MP5 version, they appear to be incapable of automatic fire. (Seen in "Rules of Engagement" and "Proving Ground".)

"Ka-Bar"/Marine Corps Fighting Knife: Heavy duty fighting/general purpose knife issued and privately purchased by Marines. Called a "Ka-Bar" after the first Company's knives to be delivered to the Marines during WWII, many are actually manufactured by Camillus. Rugged construction with a grip of compressed leather washers on a full-tanged black-phosphate treated steel blade, this knife is used for everything from fighting to careful prying… (Not positively seen in Stargate SG-1)

Eye of Tiamat: Large yellow-orange mounted jewel found on P2X-338 and property of Marduk. Most likely a Goa'uld weapon or device of some unknown type.

FIM-92A Stinger Missile: Hand-held, shoulder fired, surface-to-air missile (SAM). Has a range of 1-8km depending on whether the target is approaching or moving away and the targets speed and altitude. Uses a fire-and-forget passive infrared seeker (detects and tracks the heat emitted by the target). 5-feet long and 34.5 pounds ready-to-fire.

M1 Garand: 1936-1950's General Issue Battle Rifle. The first general issue semiautomatic rifle in the world. (Not seen in SG-1, here for reference (flashback?) purposes)

M2HB .50 Browning: This weapon, AKA "Ma Deuce", has been in use in one from or another since 1921 and is still being fitted to our most modern armored vehicles. It fires a high powered round capable of penetrating light armored vehicles and has an effective range over a mile. This is the weapon mounted on a modified FRED to form the Mobile Attack Turret. It is shown here on it's tripod. The weapon weighs 84 pounds empty, uses a 44 pound tripod, and fires a 105-round belt (can be configured to feed from either side). It's 61 1/2" long and has a Maximum Effective Range of 2000m. (Seen in Stargate SG-1)

M4/M4A1 Carbine: The M4 is a lightweight, gas operated, air cooled, magazine fed, selective rate, shoulder fired weapon with a collapsible stock. A shortened variant of the M16A2 rifle, the M4 provides the individual soldier operating in close quarters the capability to engage targets at extended range with accurate, lethal fire. The M4 Carbine achieves over 80% commonality with the M16A2 Rifle and will replace all M3 .45 cal. submachine guns and selected M9 pistols and M16 series rifle. Available in 4 variants: 1) with 3 round burst mechanism, 2) with fully automatic trigger mechanism (M4A1) 3) with removable carrying handle in order to fit optical sights and 3 round burst mechanism, 2) as #3 except with fully automatic in lieu of burst (M4A1). Can be fitted with an M203 Grenade Launcher under the barrel. Currently issued and being issued to USAF Special Operations personnel and Security Forces in lieu of M16A2's. (Positively seen in SG-1 dusing "Allegience" in Season Six... fitted with an M203, a flat top reciever, and carried by "Pierce"… see M203 notes.)

M9 Bayonet: A multi-purpose knife that can be attached to the end of an M16 or M4 Carbine. Can be used as a wire cutter when combined with sheath. A sharpening steel is incorporated into the back of the sheath. (Carried by Jack and the Marines)

M9 Berretta: Standard issue pistol. A semi-automatic, double-action pistol, the M9 is lighter, and theoretically safer than its predecessors. The M9 is carried by crew-served weapon crewmen and by others who have a personal defense requirement, such as law enforcement personnel and aviators. It uses a 15-round magazine. It replaces the M1911A1 .45 cal. pistol and the .38 cal. revolver. People with small hands tend to have problems with the long trigger reach for the first, double action shot. (Seen in Stargate SG-1)

M9 w/ Suppressor: (To be filled in later). (Seen in "Thor's Chariot")

M11 Sig-Sauer: Also known as the SiG-Sauer P228. Standard issue compact pistol issued to those requiring a concealed weapon, also a general issue weapon for the FBI and some other Federal Law Enforcement Agencies. US Navy SEAL's employ the slightly larger P226 version from which this model was derived. The second photo is a P226 for comparison (15-round magazine, usable in the M11). Operates similar to the M9 and uses a 13-round magazine. Originally a Swiss design… (One is taken from an NID agent in "Chain Reaction")
