A handheld Goa'uld weapon, formed in the shape of a coiled serpent. The zat'ni'katel was nicknamed "zat gun" by Colonel Jack O'Neill. The zat uses a different form of energy, less powerful than that of a staff weapon. One shot will usually render a victim unconscious. Two shots will kill most subjects. Three shots disintegrate them.

The weapon quickly became a favorite tool for SG-1 and other Stargate Command units, frequently carried off-world as standard-issue equipment.
