Varik Ice
The Broken King
OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
Thanks to the dangerous and sometimes highly close quarters environments of AECO and ONI-based covert operations, field operatives and AECO Operators alike requested something with a bit more punch to it than their sidearm or Carbine. The Sovereignty put forward the request to Barabian Systems, who spent a while going through designs before they eventually decided to try and make the most powerful weapon they'd ever worked on.
The COFF was problematic thanks to the incredibly high stopping power of the weapon - the inbuilt silencer had to be fit in alongside all of the components intended to maximize killing effectiveness, and more weight had to be added to make sure the weapon's recoil didn't send the firer 10 feet back and onto the floor or into the emergency room with a cracked skull. At first, it was attempted to make the COFF automatic; however, it was decided to make the weapon operated by pump in order to maximize stopping power.

- Inbuilt Silencer: This weapon, like the others in Barabian Systems' Covert series has an inbuilt silencer, though the large amount of work involved with making this possible has made the weapon harder to produce and added to its weight.
- Fist of God: The COFF is an extremely powerful shotgun, able to punch a significant hole into almost any organic or droid alike as well as being able to penetrate many different forms of armour and protection.
- Muffled Scream: With the inbuilt silencer finally being incorporated in this design, the COFF's noise sounds closer to a high-pitched whine, though it is still a bit louder than most other silenced weapons.
- Butterfingers: The slugs in this weapon must all be loaded individually, meaning that the reload speed is a serious pain for anyone using this weapon, and is easily a way for a user of this to get himself killed.
- Keep Firing: The COFF must be pumped on the underbarrel to load a new slug into position for firing every time one has been expelled, giving a couple seconds of time where the firer is vulnerable.
- Shoulders of Steel: This weapon has some serious kickback as is to be expected; while it could still be used by average humanoids, it would definitely leave their shoulder sore after a couple of shots, and a smaller being may actually be sent onto their back by the recoil.
