The shock spear is a Asgard energy weapon which dealt damage to anyone who had naquadah in their bloodstream; such as Goa'uld, Tok'ra, former hosts, and Jaffa, while not dealing damage to any others. (RPG: "Fantastic Frontiers: Stargate Season One")
Overview[]
The shock spear is roughly 1.5 meters in length, which consists of a long pole and a triangular nozzle at one end. This nozzle is where the weapon shoots out a green energy bolt that, if the target has naquadah in their blood, causes devastating damage and intense pain and can take down even the toughest Jaffa. If the energy hits those who don't have naquadah in their bloodstream, the bolt diffuses harmlessly and occasionally causes that targets hair to stad on end.[1]
The other end of the pole has a square piece of metal with jagged teeth carved into it so the wielder could brace the weapon against the ground without it sliding.[1] (RPG: "Fantastic Frontiers: Stargate Season One")
History[]
shock spears were the primary weapons of the Valkyries.[2] The people of Vanaheim studied the weapons, which sparked a scientific revolution for them. Their scientists learned how to replicate the shock spears and outfitted their military with them.[1] (RPG: "Fantastic Frontiers: Stargate Season One")
