Ori soldiers use them in the execution of their duties, from subduing or killing non-believers populations, to guarding their ships. Unlike the Goa'uld staff weapon it does not cauterize the wound. Even a glancing shot can cause great pain and grave injuries. They fire a small bolt of energy which can kill most humans in a single shot. The head ends in a two-pronged fork with a blue power crystal in the center, from which the energy blast is fired. Ori staff weapons are very different in design from Goa'uld staff weapon, being more slender and having a different firing attachment. The Ori staff weapon is the primary armament used by the soldiers of the Ori Army. " The staff thing kills." ― Vala Mal Doran
