The staff weapon is a directed-energy weapon and the standard weapon of Goa'uld and Jaffa forces. A similar weapon is used by Ori levies.

Design Flaws

The main problem with the staff weapon is it's shape, which resembles a spear over a meter in length. While this allows the weapon to be used as a quarterstaff in melee, it makes it large and cumbersome to fire in cramped conditions as well as being a very bad shape ergonomically for firing, limiting it's range to less than a hundred meters.

Varients

A miniaturized, wrist-mounted variant of the staff wannon is the primary weapon of Kull warriors. These appear to have a higher rate of fire than standard Staff Weapons
