their simplest weapons and gear...
"Behind them five elites readied plasma rifles.
"Down," he shouted, and dived to one side. Grace hit the floor and rolled away. Plasma bolts sizzled over their heads, and the Master Chief's shields drained as a shot hit too close. The Barrage turned several of the blue titles around him into crater of blackened glass."
Halo First Strike
"The Chief heard machinery whir, figured he had triggered a sensor, and waited for the lift to arrive. For the first time in hours there was no immediate threat, no imminent danger, and the spartan allowed himself to relax fractionally. It was a mistake.
"chief!" Cortana said. "get back!"
Thanks to the warning, he was already backing up through the hatch when the lift appeared from below, and the elite, seated in the plasma turret, opened fire.
special ops Officer Zuka 'Zamamee fired the shade. The energy cannon took up most of the platform, leaving barely enough room for the grunts who had helped the elite wrestle the weapon aboard. The bolt flared blue, hit the hatch as it started to close, and slagged half the door. ( Which was a covenant door as well.. )
Halo the Flood
The Master Chief managed to force a stalemate: the pistol now pointed straight up between their bodies. If it went off it would hit them both-- one shot at point-blank range might collaspe their shields. They'd both fry. ( what would happen )
John turned the gun into its face--squeezed the firing mechanism. The plasma discharge exploded into the creature. Fire sprayed across its shields; they shimmered, flickered, and dimmed. The energy splash washed over the Master chief; his shields drained to a quarter. The internal suit temperature spiked to critical levels.
But the elite's shields were dead.
The Master chief pushed away and fired the pistol again. The bolt of fire caught the elite in the face.
It writhed and clawed at nothing. The elite shuddered. . . suspended in midair, it twitched and finally stopped moving,"
Halo: The Fall of reach
Another plasma bolt hit--directly in front of the warthog. Heat washed over harland. Blisters pinpricked his back. He screamed but kept shooting. If they hadn't been in water, that plasma would have melted the tires. . . probably would have flash-fried them all.
Halo: The Fall of reach
Before the Covenant forces could locate where the incoming fire had originated, the Master chief oepend fire on a blue-armored Elite. It took a full magazine to put the warrior down, but it beat the hell out of going toe-to-toe with the alien where there wasn't any need to.
Halo: The Flood
But the elite rolled back. There was a blur of motion as the energy blade lashed out and neatly bisected the assault rifle. The two halves of the wrecked MA5B clattered to the deck.
Halo: First strike
The blade of crackling white-hot energy narrowly missed the Chief. The MJOLNIR's internal temperature skyrocketed.
Halo: First strike
The Chief had seen such weapons slice battle-armored ODST's in half and gouge gaping wounds in Titanium-A armor plating.
Halo: First strike
He gave the grunts 5 mortars as well here's what they can do...
They were extremely stable and fired the Covenant's most powerful ground weapon: the energy mortar. Fred had seen them in action; they fired an encapsulated blob of plasma that obliterated everything within twenty meters of impact. Titanium battle plate, concrete, or flash--it all vaporized.
Halo: First strike
Kelly rotated her tank about and fired at the remaining Wraiths and the cluster of Grunts trying to put out the fires near those she'd already destroyed. For a split second the ground was the surface of the a sun; it flared, faded, and then was nothing but ash.
Halo: First strike
This isn't necessary their weapons, but again hunter's zero f*cks to stuff thrown at them
The Banshee hit the ground, skidding through fist-sized rocks. The battered craft flipped and tossed him to the ground. The Banshee rolled end over end and crashed into the hunter.
The massive alien brought up its thick, metal, shield and shrugged off the wreckage as if it were cardboard.
Halo: First strike
By the way banshee's weight is at least a couple tons... and again it lives against another banshee just after without him bracing himself...
Kelly's riderless flier soared over him and collided with the Hunter at full speed. The Banshee exploded and showered the area with glittering metal fragments.
The Hunter reeled as fire washed across its armor. It moved in slow, confused circles.
Halo: First strike
Zamamee felt his plasma rifle cycle open as it attempted to cool itself, and knew he was about to die, when a plasma grenade sailed in among the humans and locked onto a human soldier's arm. He yelled, "No!" but it was already too late, and the explosion slaughtered the entire fire team.
Halo: The Flood ( o look those plasma nades that you said were so bad... )
