It can burn through a [[Marine]]'s ballistic armor and are equally lethal than the [[human]] counterparts: bullets and rounds. In fact, one shot of a plasma bolt, in reality, is enough to burn off an entire finger (plasma cannon). Superheated plasma is found on mostly all Covenant [[weapons]], like [[Plasma Rifles]], [[Plasma Pistols]], and many others. This ammotype can be found in vehicles, namely [[Ghosts]], on a [[Spectre]], on [[Banshees]], [[Wraiths]], and many starships. They are used on turrets, as well. A [[Plasma Turret]], [[Shade]], and [[Plasma Cannons]] are just some of the heavy artillery using plasma. | ||

=== trivia === | |||
*this technology is sililar to the "blaster" from starwars. | |||
* plasma weapons likely work with a high temperature pilot flame and a high power electro magnet, stripping the plasma out of the flame, and projecting it forward. this trades off the extra damage of fire for the added range and lack of dependence on an atmosphere. | |||
*plasma weapons are only affective due to marine body armor being designed to stop projectiles instead of plasma, even modern hotpads and oven gloves could stop a plasma pistol, and a firefighters uniform could stop a full sized plasma cannon. | |||
