Yep. The Jaffa were waiting on the other side of the gate with a 
couple of those tripod mounted staff cannons plus some infantry 
support. I loved it, it was a pure example of Earth Knowhow and the 
Jaffa were basically toast once the UAV made it through the gate and 
out of the immediate area.

I'm waiting on a cross gate weapon adaptation of a SideArm for use 
against death gliders. Basically a Malp mounted radar that rolls 
through the gate and designates nearby ground and aerial targets for 
a launcher on the other side of the gate. The computers on the SGC 
side handle the hard number crunching and the Missles are launched 
through the gate room at anything that's flying or in LOS of the 
Malp. Kind of a through the wormhole Aegis, but on a smaller scale. 
Off axis sidewinder missiles would make that possible, so would an 
AMMRAM based system, both have been either modified or checked out 
for ground launched use, on the former has been deployed however.

I have to wonder if the same could be used on a larger scale with 
some heavier munitions, though I think it'd be a bit difficult and 
out of Airforce Character to fire a Copperhead out of a 155mm 
howitzer in the gate room...;-)
