In Crusade, two people are shot, and presumably killed, by Ori staff weapons. In Flesh and Blood, Vala says that one shot from an Ori staff kills. However, in Line in the Sand, Carter is shot by an Oru staff, and the effect is similar to that of a Jaffa staff. How is it that the same weapon will sometimes kill, but sometimes only injure?

Correct. The staff doesn't work like a zat, two shots, and you're dead. More like, one shot in the right place, and you're dead. The zat gun seems more logical as a weapon than those staffs. More manoeuvrable....more deadly....etc.If you wish to see more of my rants, diatribes, and general comments, check out my Twitter account SirRyanR!

You have to remember that most people in the galaxy dont have the resources that we do and they dont have body armor like we do so when they get shot they are only wearing clothes where we are wearing vests, dont you remember the epi heroes where they are testing new vest materials. and it also has to do with how they get hit, remember daniel got hit in the shoulder int he first season and it was like a burn but a more direct hit may do more damage

The Staff wound be it Jaffa or Ori kills through bleeding, internal after "cooking" the target internal organs or external as the wound is pretty large, as the size of a Basketball ball.If you wish to see more of my rants, diatribes, and general comments, check out my Twitter account SirRyanR!

Talking about power, like, you know, let's try to put a number onto that, I don't recall a single Ori weapon staff capable of the high end feats seen for Goa'uld staves (blowing trees, cracking rocks, going through a guy covered in chainmail).
There may be many hundreds of kilojoules here, but probably not much higher.
The question is how much energy the crystal contains, since it had to power the cloak'n phase thing.

@the guy talking about Zats
The reason they like Staffs are because:
They can use them as Melee weapons
They look cool
They have a longer range
And they look more menacing
Yes Zats are the more logical choice of weapon, as they can be easily stored or hidden. They effect the entire body and with modification could be fatal with one shot. They are more maneuverable. However they will only ever be a clase range weapon. For SG personnel they are a good addition to the arsenal, as they last a bit longer than our weapons, and because we use gurilla tactics as we are normally outnumbered so we avoid hand to hand confrontation. However for the Jaffa they are trained to get up close and personal with the enemy and used the staff as a weapon as well as what comes out of the end lol. So the Zat is only for when they get disarmed, but in the hands of them it is still deadly as Tealc and Bre'tac have shows many times.
And i would say that the Ori staff's are more accurate and use a more efficient power source than Jaffa Staff's so they may be more powerful than Jaffa staffs. But either way it comes down to where you place the shot.
