CTH-8

The CTH-8, Ghost's favored signature weapon, is a fearsome pump-action shotgun designed to harness the destructive potential of X12 series buckshot rounds. These specialized rounds, hot-loaded to an astonishing 2000 degrees, unleash a devastating onslaught upon impact, making the CTH-8 a force to be reckoned with.
==Design==
The heart of the CTH-8's power lies in its ammunition. This shotgun is engineered to accommodate the X12 series buckshot, which possesses the remarkable capability of superheating upon contact. When fired, the pellets burst forth, their intense heat turning anything they touch into a blazing inferno. Ghost's proficiency with this inferno-inducing weapon makes them a formidable and relentless adversary on the battlefield.
The CTH-8's design is undeniably robust, and its notable bulkiness serves a crucial purpose. The shotgun is built to withstand the tremendous heat and stress generated by the fiery X12 rounds. This unwavering durability ensures that Ghost can rely on their weapon to perform reliably under the most extreme conditions.
The shotgun features a short barrel, making it ideal for close-quarters engagements where the scorching power of the X12 buckshot is most devastating. The compact design enables Ghost to navigate tight spaces and respond swiftly to threats in confined environments.
As with most CTH weapons, the CTH-8 adheres to the iconic blue color scheme, identifying it as a product of the clandestine arms manufacturer. This unassuming appearance belies the weapon's devastating capabilities, often catching adversaries off guard especially if they simply view it as a conventional shotgun.
The CTH-8 boasts a five-round capacity, providing Ghost with a balance between firepower and reload speed. This capacity allows for sustained engagement before needing to reload, ensuring Ghost can maintain relentless pressure on their targets.
