Hiss-stave

A type of weapon used and referenced as Aviendha is going through the glass columns in Rhuidean. They are described as the "long rod-like weapons" by Malidra: "There was a hiss of sound—one of the Lightmaker weapons—and something popped against her back. It felt like she’d been hit with a small rock." The name comes from Norlesh's PoV. 
"Stave" is a synonym for "rod". Their length and ability to fire projectiles would make them similar to a rifle. They do not, however, produce a bang, but rather a hissing sound, so it's possible that they do not use gunpowder. They may be a ter'angreal, but this is speculation.
The item is not referenced in The Wheel of Time Companion.
