Achilles I think you are mostly right but isn't the Covenant Carbine suposed to be the end product of stealing Human designs, though I could be wrong. Many people 'claim' that this is the case despite there being little proof except I've read it in afew magazines though this is probably their opinion also.
Covenant do use projectiles aka the needler, but they are rare and not as used as their plasma weapons, if the game is anything to go by, maybe because they're not as high tech.
As for a shotgun, I doubt it and to be honest I wouldn't want it. Each race has its own unique weaponry. Covies have the energy sword, we have the shotgun and theres bound to be others that only a certain race has. And i think that is more important than two versions of everything.
