English term or phrase: staff blast
O que significa isto?
Aqui esta a frase:
"The staff blast gave the
organism energy it needed to spread"
Trata-se de uma explosão, se não estou em erro, mas o que é realmente?

"descarga (lançada pelo) do disparador"
Explanation:
Carla, a palavra "staff" é usada no campo militar referente a uma espécie de arma que descarrega plasma.

A long staff wielded by the Jaffa of multiple System Lords. It is made of a metallic substance, with curved decorative lines carved into it. Bumps exist along its length to allow the wielder to grip it more easily. At the end, an almond-shaped ornament houses a small container of liquid-naqahdah, which powers the staff's ability to fire blasts of charged plasma. The weapons are primarily used to intimidate, causing large explosions. A staff blast can be survived, but will cause significant burning and excruciating pain
