  • Staff Cannons are powerful energy weapons used by the Goa'uld. Apparently derived from the same mechanics behind the staff weapons, Cannons provide higher discharges, and are primarily ship based weapons, being seen on Ha'taks and death gliders. Samantha Carter was once able to rig a Staff Cannon from a downed glider to be used as a portable weapon by Teal'c, and was still able to discharge its high yield. Staff Cannons are also seen as artillery weapons by Jaffa. Stationary ground unit cannons used by the Goa'uld to guard Stargates and other points of interest.
  • In addition to their use as anti-ship weapons, staff cannons are also used as artillery weapons by Jaffa, either for guarding locations or attacking a fortified position. Variations include tower-mounted cannons and tripod-mounted cannons. The Free Jaffa Nation makes use of staff cannons mounted on wheels for ease of movement. (SG1: "Children of the Gods", "The Serpent's Lair", "The Fifth Man", "48 Hours", "The Warrior", "Avenger 2.0", "There But for the Grace of God", "Into the Fire") Staff cannons like the Zat'nik'tels and Staff weapons resemble symbiotes (vaguely).

(SG1: "Children of the Gods", "The Serpent's Lair", "The Fifth Man", "48 Hours", "The Warrior", "Avenger 2.0", "There But for the Grace of God", "Into the Fire") Staff cannons have little or no effect on advanced shields, such as those on Asgard and Ori ships, even during a prolonged bombardment. Ori built structures, such as the Supergate also suffered no damage from the combined attack of no less than 13 hataks shooting it for an unknown amount (presumed hours) of time. (SG1: "Beachhead", "Camelot") Staff cannons like the Zat'nik'tels and Staff weapons resemble symbiotes (vaguely).
