This marks the first appearance of the P-90 sub-machine gun to replace the MP-5s used as the primary weapons of SG-1.
This our first introduction of the P90 into the Stargate SG-1 universe and it not only replaces the MP-5 almost exclusively on the show, but becomes the "signature" weapon for the SG-1 team. The change from the MP-5 to the P90 was done for two reasons. 1. The P90 submachine gun is a much more powerful gun, with a much larger magazine than the MP-5. It proves to be much more effective against the Unas in this episode, and although we don't truly see its powers demonstrated until 'The Warrior' in Season 5, it does makes short work of Jaffa as well. 2. The P90 is very distinctive and until it's use on Stargate SG-1, had not been used on scifi/action television shows. It very quickly became not just a P90, but "SG-1's gun".
When preparing to rescue Daniel Jack says that they will be carrying P90's, referring to the FN P-90. The P90 is a sub-machine gun chambered in 5.7x28 mm NATO, whereas the MP-5's they previously used were chambered in 9x19 mm Parabellum. The P90 has a smaller bullet than the MP5 (.22 caliber versus .38 caliber) but it has a longer cartridge and therefore substantially more power; the average muzzle velocity of a 9 mm is 1,200 feet per second (365 meters per second) while the muzzle velocity of the 5.7 mm is 2,800 feet per second (850 meters per second). Which makes the P90 a superior weapon when it comes to armor penetration, which is something they deal with when encountering the Jaffa; it would often take a number of rounds from a MP5 to penetrate their armor whereas the P90 can do it with a single round.
This is much like Enterprise: Dawn (2003) and the Unas looked quite similar to Zo'Kaan. Daniel was developing communication with the Unas like Trip was doing with Zo'Kaan.
