The particle magnum[1] is the standard sidearm of the Travelers. One is also carried by Ronon Dex. It is an energy weapon with settings for stun and kill.
Overview[]
The particle magnum has the appearance of a long-barreled revolver. The cylinder of the weapon is a power cell with a luminescent dome on the back. The cell has a finite amount of energy, but can be removed to recharge or replace it. The barrel of the gun has three small crystals of increasing size from bottom to top. The weapon has three settings: stun, kill, and incinerate. The toggle is on the barrel just in front of the cylinder along with three different color lights above it which indicate the weapon's setting: orange for stun, red for kill, and green for incinerate.
When set on stun, the particle magnum can render the target unconscious for several hours with a single shot, making it far more potent than a Wraith stunner. When set to kill, it can kill humans and Wraith in a single blast. The incinerate setting can put a ten-inch (25 centimeters) hole in most materials with a single shot, though it takes multiple shots to blast through Lantean doors, for example. The weapon is powerful enough to momentarily stun Asurans, at least when first used on them; in later engagements they are completely immune.

History[]
- "I have a friend who's got a gun just like this. I always wondered where he got it."
- ―John Sheppard[src]
Ronon acquired this weapon early in his time as a Runner when he met Nekai, leader of the V'rdai Nehar'lem, a group of Runners who had banded together to hunt the Wraith. Ronon claimed this weapon when he defeated Nekai as part of his training and kept it for himself, with Nekai respecting Ronon's victory. Ronon also has a backup power cell for his particle magnum which he keeps on his belt. He has woven Wraith hair around the grip. Both John Sheppard and Teal'c have expressed a great fondness for the weapon. (SGA: "Hunt and Run", "Runner", "Duet", "Sateda", "The Hive", "Midway")
Sheppard discovered the origin of the weapon when he was kidnapped by the Travelers. (SGA: "Travelers")
The Asurans seem to have acquired one of these weapons, or more likely reproduced it, when they created a duplicate of Ronon Dex for experimentation. (SGA: "This Mortal Coil")
