History
Two of the Vanir used those weapons to stun Doctors Daniel Jackson and Meredith Rodney McKay|Rodney McKay when they infiltrated Janus' lab|Janus' secret lab in Atlantis in order to steal a component of the Attero device. Later, when Rodney McKay attempted to deactivate the device, the weapons were used to stun him, preventing him from accomplishing the act.
