The fuel rod cannon on a Hunter is biologically attached to them and works differently than hand-held fuel rod cannons, so this idea would be awesome, but it wouldn't be canon-friendly.

I would absolutely love the idea. I always thought it was silly how they just, well, died with nothing left. I think bungie's reasoning that the gun is too heavy, even for a spartan.
I'm not talking about removing the gun and using it.
Just detaching the fuel-rod tubes and using them for your fuel-rod cannon -just like when you walk over an Assault Rifle and absorb it's ammo.
But a Hunter's gun isn't any bigger than a chain-gun. But it would probably lack a trigger, seeing as how a whole bunch of worms is in control of it.

Halopedia speaks wonders.
The fuel rod cannon and the hunter's cannon are two different variants, they don't use the same ammunition and firing method.
they say it's similar though. Which is why I said the Hunter's in Halo 1 were more suitable for this idea. The Assault Cannon in H2/3 weren't really the same, but the ammo sure looks the same.
I'm not suggesting you should fire a plasma beam out of a fuel-rod cannon, but if we're heading back to the old technology of Halo 1, we may encounter the older Hunters and their weapons. In which case this ammo still might help.
