to vehicles, i think it would be more realistic if human guns could destroy vehicles easier, and maybe they could make plasma guns kinda discharge the engine or somethin, like if yer ghost is shot by a plasma pistol , then you're speed would decrease for a second, thoughts anyone.

Interesting enough plasma burns and electrifies and bullets pierce.

It's more logical to think that bullets work better on human vehicles which are vulnerable to holes in their engines while Plasma would work better on the Covenant vehicles, disrupting their power regulators and what not.

I would have to say plasma because plasma melts metal and human weapons just piece, and they can piece through the side pannels of the warhog but it wouldn't do as much damage, you would probalby get more damage with plasma with the same amount of rounds from say a battle rifle and a plasma rifle.

Not necessarily. Try driving without a radiator or with a severed fuel line. Plasma would more like sit on top of the chasis and melt it's way in like white phospherous. Plasma is much better at defeating shielded targets. It would eat partially through the body but most likely would not reach the engine.

Interesting... so what you're saying is that each army built weapons to kill themselves. Interesting...

I mostly agree with Draerden. The human weapons have the ability to pierce and disrupt the internal structure more easily. Human weapons should be able to destroy any vehicle faster.
