lol, not they dont.

The brute were using the weapon from the books. the plasma grenade launcer or something to that effect. It looked like a fuel rod gun to me though.

Deffinately not the carbine.

Does it shoot the actual plasma grenades or smaller ones that do less damage. Honestly whats the point of a grenade launcher if MC can throw a grenade like a kilometer.

The brute gun isn't called a slug launcher, it's the name we have given it.

Actually, in the Halo 2 OXM, they say brutes carry a slug thrower.

also,in one image, it shows an elite with a C.C, a jackal with a needler, and in the back it looks like a jackal has a covenan carbine, too, which sort of scares me. the jackals are using so many weapons now, they seem like miniature elites!

In OXM. They refer to it as a slug launcher, but that is not its official name.
