Props of Stargate SG-1 May 24, 2006
Posted by karltate in Stargate SG-1, props.trackback
The original “Stargate” movie, with Kurt Russell and James Spader, was pretty much a waste of time IMHO… but the film showcased one mindblower of a science fiction idea: instantaneous space travel via gateways on different planets.
Reinvented for Showtime cable television, the series “Stargate SG-1″ improved on the movie with smart stories and engaging characters. The scenario was quite similar to classic Star Trek: our heroes would “beam down” to a different planet each week, facing a new civilization and a new problem to solve.
Stargate SG-1 completed the latter half of its 10-year run on the Sci Fi Channel. Characters were added and departed, stories became less science-fictional, and ultimately way too much was “borrowed” from the Star Trek franchise.
Stlll… I like some of the props. Here are a few replicas from my collection.
From SG-1… First the Zat gun, an alien weapon introduced in the second season:
On the show there are fixed-closed props like that one, fixed-open ones, and a “hero” Zat that can pop up and snap closed (powered by air I think).
Here’s my fixed-open one:
The standard weapon of the SG-1 team is the P-90 submachine gun which has appeared in so many other shows and movies… I have an airsoft model of this with the correct accessories (or pretty close anyway). I don’t have a photo of mine but it looks like this (publicity photo)
Then we have another piece of alien technology, the TER:
The TER (“Transphase Eradication Rod”) was effective against invisible enemies… the weapon was only used in a couple of episodes.
Then there are the patches, very accurate ones come from the MGM store (and now stargateprops.com ). That’s screenused on the left, my accurate MGM patch in the middle, and an inaccurate fanmade patch on the right.
Another Stargate item is the Eye of Ra pendant… this appeared in both the movie and the TV series.
Replicas of the Eye pendant can be gotten from http://www.stargateprops.com/
Several watches have been seen on the show… here’s a Suunto Vector which is what they’ve used for the past several seasons on the Sci Fi Channel (product shot)
I woul’d like to know where can I buy the “Catherine’s Eye of Ra pendant” I think it’s the best prop of Stargate. Also I like the Zat weapon It’s wonderful!
Thanks!
I have been trying to find place in the UK and on the web that sell props, badges and clothing from both SG1 and Atlantis with no go. Can you help me find any please.

are there any of the “hero” zat guns on the market?
Sorry, I don’t know of any hero “working” Zat guns that would collapse and extend as the props on the show do..
The Suunto Vector watches can be found online with some Googling.

P.S.: What is the nob (button) in the middle section of the zat for
There are three buttons on the Zat. The button on the right side of the lowest segment is the trigger. The buttons on either side of the middle segment are used to extend and collapse the Zat.

so there is a working zat to buy, or do these buttons only work on the ones they use in the tv shows

I am not aware of a working Zat replica that you can buy.
Here is a site that is selling Zat replicas that open and close.
They can be yours for the small sum of 79 pounds.

were can i get a p90 replica or staff weapon
Several Airsoft (pellet gun) P90s are available, but most of these are the newer “tri rail” version of the P90 that was not used on SG-1. But if supreme accuracy isn’t your thing, you can get away with a decent replica for well under $100.
If you have to have that early “red dot sight” P90 that is the correct version, you’re down to either a real gun (super expensive), or the old Tokyo Marui airsoft version which now goes for several hundred dollars.
The staff weapon is a tough proposition as well. The Stargateprops.com site had one (I think) that was up around a thousand dollars (just for a static replica).. But that site is down at the moment for the holidays. Check back later.
Hello ZAT you do so at what price. Or we may have
i love staregate

Once again I do not make or sell Zats. Licensed replicas are available, just Google around. – Karl
