- "Are we talking about a anti-Prior gun here? Because I don't remember seeing the word "gun" anywhere in here."
- —Colonel Cameron Mitchell
The Prior disruptor, also known as an Anti-Prior device, is a counter measure developed by SGC to counter the Priors of the Ori. The device releases sonic frequencies in omnidirectional paths, though the range is unknown. The frequencies block the specific portions of the Priors brain, which allow them to use their special abilities such a telekinesis and telepathy, as well as activating their staffs. The Priors are however able to overcome the device after some time. (SG1: "The Fourth Horseman") The device also works on the Orici, who is far more powerful than the Priors. (SG1: "Dominion")
The Ancient, Merlin, possesses a more powerfull version of the device using Ancient technology which cannot be overcome, even by the Orici. It was present in his system to guard the Sangraal.
