			* ''According to ''[[Encyclopedia Galactica]]'' (a non-canonical piece of merchandise published in 1979):''

			: The Numo is a primitive hand weapon that uses compressed air to propell a small projectile. It can injure or kill small game or unshielded humans at short ranges. Numo guns were common during the [[Era of Darkness\|Late Era of Darkness]], but they are found in common use only on backward planets like [[Equellus]]. <ref>{{cite book\|last=Kraus\|first=Bruce\|year=1979\|title=[[Encyclopedia Galactica]]\|pages=44}}</ref>

	*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]].
