Capital ship weaponry, Shortsword bombings, or the like. Dropship guns don't have the firepower, but maybe Seraph or Longsword strafing would injure the person within it but not fully pierce it.

Covenant shipbound weaponry, like their plasma turrets.
A MAC round firing at full power.
A SMAC round firing at half power.
Being tossed inside a star.
Any sort of nova. Supernova, hypernova, NOVA bomb...
Planet cracking weapons.
And, last but sure as hell not least, a Black hole. Or Bruce Lee's punch.

This.

To be fair, I imagine a canonical Wraith shot would be able to do so, and a single PP overcharge should 'EMP' it as well.

it only protects you from the projectiles not the blast.

btw did anyone notice that mc used armor lock in halo 3: the arrival. and jorge and 6 used it when the falcon went down. it is built into the armor!

A Covenant Energy Projector would do the job quite nicely i think.

Armour Lock =/= locking armour.

SPARTANS can lock the joints of their armour plate to prevent damage to limbs by them being hyperextended (pushed further than joints would allow).
Armour Lock is a device that drastically boosts shield strength by draining power from other sections of the armour and feeding it into the shield system.

Really, it should be called Shield Overcharge.

I don't consider armour abilities/equipment canon. They're just gameplay elements.
