The carbine or 'compact' variant of the Cobalt weapon family, it is a dual mode heavy caliber coil gun system intended for service either with boot infantry units or with the flick of a switch service with power armor or exosuits via the rifles alternate output mode. While trading the increased weight of such a weapon and the reduced ability due to having to operate as a regular infantry weapon (IE the weight cannot exceed what a man can carry) it still employs a large caliber projectile and allows those employing it to only have to stock one weapon system. The Cobalt-C features a very effective electromagnetic coil system to serve as the primary means of firing its projectiles, as stated previously these are large 13.5 mm EM rounds. Primarily intended to stop targets with one or two hits the weapon is non-the less capable of controlled low RPM automatic fire. What makes the weapon and the cobalt family of systems unique is a easily changed barrel system allowing for the installation of a very effective sound neutralizing barrel shroud reducing the noise impulse of the weapon down to something akin to a human cough.
