Look people, stop trying to rationalize anything about the weapons in ODST. There's so much inconsistency with this flawed game that Bungie themselves gave the answer, "it's a -BLAM!- game" as their "explanation" for why Johnson uses VISR mode even though he lacks a helmet.
Just accept that there is no logic involved as to why ODSTs can or can't use something. And asking these questions only sheds light on inconsistencies from other games: if Chief can flip a warthog with ease, why does he struggle to carry a turret?
edit: they may as well make the Spartans in HALO 3: REACH fly like Ironman. Remember: "it's only a -BLAM!- game".
Bungie said they would change the gameplay to fit the physical capabilities of an ODST. An ODST cannot use a gravity hammer. Yes, it's a game, but if they were going to change the gameplay, then take out the ability to use a gravity hammer.
