The earliest iterations of the plasma rifle have been in use by the Sangheili warrior class for several millennia as of the 26th century, and were in service long before the Covenant itself was established. Human researchers of the [[UNSC]]'s [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] believe that the plasma rifle's current design dates back at least five hundred years, with only slight modifications made to the rifle over time.{{Ref/Reuse|universe}} In the post-[[Human-Covenant War|Covenant War]] era, though, it has been largely phased out for the {{Pattern|Kelos'vaarda|storm rifle}}.{{Ref/Site|Id= | The earliest iterations of the plasma rifle have been in use by the Sangheili warrior class for several millennia as of the 26th century, and were in service long before the Covenant itself was established.
