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.

It is also the weapon of choice for some Goa'uld.

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.
