"Now, that was a grenade! Come."

—Master Bra'tac (SG1: "The Serpent's Lair")

The Goa'uld shock grenade is a hand weapon used to temporary incapacitate human targets.

Overview

This grenade, that has the shape of an orange, is designed to temporary neutralize human target(s), using dazzling light and ear-splitting noise emissions that cause an extreme pain. The effects of this weapon are a near to instantaneous collapsing, and after the victim's gain of consciousness, a temporary blindness that fades after a moment. This weapon is short range, yet it can incapacitate a large number of people located inside a huge room like a hangar bay (SG1: "The Serpent's Lair").

History

"The Serpent's Lair" (1997)

While they are fighting against Jaffa inside Klorel's mothership, SG-1 are soon incapacitated by a shock grenade thrown inside the room.

Later, as Colonel Jack O'Neill, Captain Samantha Carter and Teal'c make their way to escape the vessel with Bra'tac, the latter rolls a grenade inside a death gliders hangar bay, disabling the present guards, and allowing them to take death gliders to flee.

"Enemies" (2001)

Colonel Jack O'Neill uses a shock grenade, given by Jacob Carter, to disable the Jaffa and a brainwashed Teal'c. Teal'c sees the grenade and runs for cover.
