The Firestorm shotgun was a pump-action/semi-automatic shotgun heat-sink based block-fed shotgun manufactured by Devlon Industries. Manufactured and entering service in 2163 CE, the Firestorm shotgun was developed for use by the Systems Alliance Armed Forces and for civilian use, where it found use among numerous interstellar militaries, PMCs and security corporations, with the weapon being favoured by the asari military. The weapon was capable of a semi-automatic rate of fire, allowing it to pop off shots at an extremely rapid pace, but with greater sacrifice to accuracy per shot and with ever increasing recoil: despite this, the weapon remained quite powerful when handled properly. The weapon was, in design, succeeded by the M-27 Scimitar following the introduction of the thermal clip in 2184 CE, which replaced block-fed weapons wholesale across the entire galaxy following the Battle of the Citadel. No direct successor to the Firestorm exists, as Devlon shifted solely to the manufacture of armor and the M-92 Mantis, their premiere snipe rifle. The M-27 Scimitar has supplanted the Firestorm throughout the Alliance, and it was entirely replaced by the asari's homegrown AR-36 Disciple within their own military.
