A '''numo''' is a weapon similar to an [[Wikipedia:air gun|air gun]], operating on compressed air. It is a mainstay weapon on [[Equellus]], and is unable to penetrate the armor of [[Cylons (TOS)|Cylon]] [[Centurion (TOS)|Centurions]]. | A '''numo''' is a weapon similar to an [[Wikipedia:air gun|air gun]], operating on compressed air.

[[Bootes]] attempts to use a numo pistol against the Centurion [[Red-Eye]], but fails to do so. Others have previously attempted this, some succeeding in denting Red-Eye's armor before being dispatched by the Centurion {{OS|The Lost Warrior}}. | [[Bootes]] attempts to use a numo pistol against the Centurion [[Red-Eye]], but fails to do so.

*Like many other terms in the Original Series, the naming of this weapon is derived from a real-world term. "Numo" is a sound-alike for a ''pneumatic'' gun, another word for a type of "BB" gun. | *Like many other terms in the Original Series, the naming of this weapon is derived from a real-world term.

*{{TOS|Apollo}}'s comment about never seeing a numo suggests that the [[Twelve Colonies of Man]] primarily uses energy weapons against the heavily armored Cylons during the [[Thousand Yahren War]]. This is supported in the events of this episode as many gunfighters fall to [[Red-Eye]] because their projectiles cannot pierce the Cylon's armor, while Apollo's [[laser pistol]] takes down the Cylon in one shot. | *{{TOS|Apollo}}'s comment about never seeing a numo suggests that the [[Twelve Colonies of Man]] primarily uses energy weapons against the heavily armored Cylons during the [[Thousand Yahren War]].
