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. The most compact digi-weapons can only be created by the [[Jokaero]] species, with the vast majority being craft crafted by them as well. 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, as well as [[Rogue Trader]]s,{{Fn|4}} and even some [[Space Marines]] will utilise them as special issue gear.{{Fn|8}}
==Variants==
'''Digi-Multi Lasers''' are variants of a '''Digi-Laser''', but instead of being concealed within a ring or jewelryjewelery, they are in the form of a pistol. When fired, the weapons unleash a devastating beam that combines the potency of [[plasma weapon|plasma]], [[melta weapon|melta]] and [[las weapon|las]] energy together. Digi-multi lasers can only fire once, but this is usually all their users need.{{Fn|3}} Some of these digi-lasers have multiple functions besides weaponry. Some are also equipped with the ability to display [[hololith]]s, a flickering 3 dimensional light display.{{Fn|4}}
