I don't get this. The SG-1 team shoot the Goa'uld with conventional bullets (at least I assume that is what they are shooting) and it takes several shots to knock one down because the bullets can't penetrate the Goa'uld armor. But after multiple bullet hits all over the armor when the Goa'uld finally fall their armor still looks flawless. Why do they eventually fall down if the armour looks like the bullets never penetrated?

Also, its not even like two bullets are made to hit the same place to finally penetrate. Why should bullets which hit at a different location each time finally penetrate? Is realism too much to ask for?

I'm guessing this lameness is the result of a limited special effects budget. But couldn't the Stargate producers have come up with a cheap way to show that the armor had been penetrated? They make the sparks show where the bullets hit. How about one of these ways to show why they fall?

• Put something seamlessly in the armor shell and have it change color where the final bullet hits.
• When the final bullet hits explode out a hole with blood.
• Do head and extremity shots so the armor isn't involved.
• When the bullets hit show the armor lighting up electrically as if its reactive armor that has a force field. Then show the field light up progressively less well after each shot so that the final one can pierce it. Then have a hole show up after the final shot.
