Hmm! Never thought of that.
Plasma isn't just hot. It's VERY HOT
Despite what many people believe, my personal opinion that the plasma being used is in fact cold. I won't go into detail about how the basics of cold plasma work, but scientists today are already working on developing it. 500 years ahead, humans might have mastered its uses. Im sure the covenant have already.
If the plasma is cold plasma, then it could be used simply to transfer vast amounts of energy. Released in the form of cold plasma, it travels out of the gun, through the air, and into the target. The target (lets say a human) would then simply be fried from the inside out by the amount of energy contained in the plasma.
Come to think of it, that also might be what MAJORLIN armour shields are composed of. It would require a layer of fast, constant moving particles in order for the shields to work.
Food for thought.
ok well how do you contain an ionized gas any way.
no matter the temperature the Covenant figured out a way to contain a gas and shoot with it, with out it dissipating. i mean hell the have Gravity altering tech.
and besides- which one sounds funner a gun that shoots gas.
or a gun that could incinerate your armor and entrails
