Staser weapons were the standard armament of the Chancellory Guard on Gallifrey shooting a dark blue coloured beam. The Guards were normally equipped with staser pistols, although staser rifles were also occasionally used.

Stasers had both lethal and non-lethal settings. They were relatively non-damaging to inorganic matter but caused massive tissue disruption to living creatures. (DW: The Deadly Assassin)

As a result a single staser shot could apparently kill a Time Lord outright and ensure that regeneration could not take place.
