Well, as to the grunts boarding, that would be odd. Compared to the Master Chief, they are too weak and small, but it may be possible. As to the Covenant picking up the human weapons, that would mess with the storyline. They hate human weapons. For example, on page 88 of the Halo book "The Flood" it states, "The Elite snapped up a fallen M6D pistol and shot Dowski. The bullet hit her in the cneter of her forehead. The pistol's report echoed down the canyon. The Ensign's eyes rolled back in her head, her knees gave way, and she collapsed in a heap. The Elite turned the M6D over in his hand. The weapon was small compared to his pistol-and his finger didn't fit easily inside the trigger guard. 'Projectiles. Very primitive. Take him away.'."
And I imagine that there are some religious reasons for not wielding human weapons, but it is possible. Bungie might surprise us all with some crazy storyline and strange ideas.
