Editing Jem'Hadar (section)

==Technology==

The uniforms Jem'Hadar soldiers wear allow them to be almost completely unaffected by many forms of anti-personnel force field. (DS9: "The Jem'Hadar") Their energy weapons contain anti-coagulants that are designed to slowly kill their enemies if the energy discharge did not. The rifle and pistol weapons used by the Jem'Hadar have at least three settings, able to stun, deliver a generally lethal pulse laced with the anti-coagulants, and a more powerful pulse capable of vaporizing a humanoid target. (DS9: "The Search, Part I", "The Ship", "Change of Heart", "By Inferno's Light") 

:'''''The Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Technical Manual claims that the Jem'Hadar pistol and rifle weapons have only a single setting, and this is a lethal pulse. This is entirely inconsistent with what has been seen in the series. In "The Search, Part I", Major Kira most definitely takes a direct hit to the chest from a Jem'Hadar weapon on a stun setting. Lethal to semi-lethal pulses that leave behind anti-coagulants have been seen in episodes such as "The Ship", "Change of Heart" and "The Siege of AR-558". A higher setting was seen to vaporize humanoid targets, such as Jem'Hadar and Breen, in "By Inferno's Light".''''' 

The Jem'Hadar prefer a kar'takin for close combat. (DS9: "To the Death", "Sons and Daughters")
