'''Digital weapons''', or '''digi-weapons''', are miniaturised weapons, often concealed in rings or other jewellery.{{Fn|1}}
Though miniaturised, they are capable of replicating the punch of full-sized weapons such as [[laspistol]]s, [[hellpistol]]s, [[needle pistol]]s, [[hand flamer]]s, and [[Inferno pistol]]s. Though a digital weapon can be fired while holding something else in one's hands, the weapon can only be fired once and reloading is extremely difficult.{{Fn|1}} Often, they are used in hand-to-hand combat scenarios, to give the combatant an unexpected edge or to exploit a gap in their enemy's guard.{{Fn|8}}
The technology required to manufacture digi-weapons is beyond the capabilities of the Imperium. Digi-weapons can only be created by the [[Jokaero]] species. Accordingly, they are very rare and almost impossible to buy. Their possession is normally restricted to the extremely wealthy or influential;{{Fn|2}} they are more most commonly used by [[Inquisitor]]s,{{Fn|4}} but some [[Space Marines]] utilise them as well.{{Fn|48}}
