Against UNSC vessels, the weapon is able to pierce dozens of centimeters of [[Titanium-A armor]] with comparative ease, rendering any form of physical defense useless. A single hit can potentially disable or destroy vital systems, such as the [[Magnetic Accelerator Cannon]] or engines, as seen during the [[Battle of Earth]] when a single pulse from an [[Covenant assault carrier|assault carrier's]] dorsal energy projector crippled a {{Class|Marathon|heavy cruiser}}. If an energy projector strikes in a critical area, such as the reactors of a ship, it could destroy the ship instantly.
