Most people seem to think her weapon is some kind of nuke or "Pandora's Box". Without any real evidence. I say, it's not. I say, it's just a "normal" weapon, but equally -if not more- cooler than most weapons in RWBY.

As for why Coco told her to not use it? That was the in-universe justification for Velvet not using her weapon. Out-of-universe, the real reason was that Monty by the time of the episode hadn't finished her weapon, or had problems animating it like he had with Sun's StaffGunChakus (why do you think Sun had 0 fights in all Vol.2?). Since he couldn't really delay the episode, he thought of a way to justify why Velvet wouldn't use it.

That is all. Her weapon isn't some kind of home-made kid-friendly version of a WMD. It's just yet another cool weapon. It just wasn't ready back then.
