Za'tarc weapon
Small device worn on two fingers, which releases a powerful burst of energy in the form of a cutting beam. The laser-like weapon can cauterize flesh and easily kill targets, and is commonly used by [[Za'tarc]] assassins -- innocent men and women who have been brainwashed by the [[Goa'uld]]. It is also the weapon of choice for some Goa'uld.

It is not known where the devices originate, since those who possess them have been effected by Goa'uld mind control. It is likely Goa'uld in origin.


The ring-like weapon is designed to be covert, and is activated by pressing the center of the small device. A second press will cause the device to overload and explode, killing the wearer -- which za'tarcs are programmed to do should their mission fail. The resulting explosion is powerful enough that it does not even leave the victim's brain in a sufficient state for study of the za'tarc brainwashing technology.
