Actually, interesting question. The Forerunner obviously made the sentinal beam technology, and the sheild technology original came from the Forerunners (as proven by their appearance on certain Sentinals). The Covenant however have shown no ground-based weapons of this type, their weapons are mainly plasma, like you said, so they probably did develop that on their own. I'm not sure of the exact technicalities of their spacebourne arsenal, however. Interesting how the Covenant only have aquired certain technology from the forerunner, mainly their slipstream drives. Perhaps the only thing the Covenant stumbled upon was an old Forerunner ship without any Sentinals and/or weapons.
