:: Alas, yes. There are several instances in which Covenant infantry weapons are used in vacuum. First Strike, The Fall of Reach, and I believe The Cole Protocol all fit this bill. I think, if we are to truly define the mechanics of these plasma weapons, we must start at the most basic of them all and work our way up. I suggest we start at the melee weapon: the Energy sword. Simplicity in design and execution. Once we pin down exactly how that works it may shed light on the mechanics of the ranged munitions. I also think that what applies to the small must apply to the large; our new theories must be applicable to both handheld and starship-grade weapons, and everything in between. We may just crack this thing yet, friend. --[[User talk:Bruce2401|Bruce2401]] 08:01, 26 April 2011 (EDT) | :: Alas, yes.

:The plasma sword is a mistery - the way it is described as turning off in the books, indicate that each time the plasma is dispersed. Meaning, it can only be turned on so many times before it runs out of fuel, and loses the ability to generate plasma in a vacuum. (if it does not use ambient air directly, but stores its own) Not only this, but the fact that it does not seem to expend energy in order to maintain the blade. A plasma pistol rapidly loses charge when an overcharge is maintained between its electrodes, yet a plasma sword is unchanged.
