The weapon's power to erase matter from existence was highly volatile. Not only would it remove its target from existence, but its residual energy was capable of erasing the memories of individuals close to its vicinity, including those who fired the gun. The beam fired from the gun was also never self-contained well enough to avoid erasing the gun itself, which meant that a De-mat gun was limited a single shot and a single use before it would be lost forever.
