They are mounted primarily on [[Sentinel]]s and [[Chimera]]s, part of the [[Imperial Guard Structure]], and due to the high manoeuvrability of the walker they can be quickly deployed where they will do the most damage. They are especially good at hunting low-armoured transports. Also, they are effective against horde armies with poor armour, such as [[Orks]] and other Imperial Guard forces.
While the standard Lascannon is a semi-automatic weapon (one squeeze of the trigger fires one shot), the Multi-laser is fully automatic - it fires multiple laser beams as long as the trigger is held down. The Multi-laser can be considered to be a bigger variant of the [[Hellgun]].
The Eldar have a similar weapon called a [[Scatter Laser]] which has a better rate of fire and a similarly more Eldar-like design.
