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}}

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 most commonly used by the [[Inquisition]], notably by [[Inquisitor]]s or , as well as [[Rogue Trader]]s,{{Fn|4}} but and even some [[Space Marines]] will utilise them as wellspecial issue gear.{{Fn|8}}
