Think about this.
We are a unified culture after the rainforest/interplanetary wars. We have no enemies to fight. All of humanity is joined under the United Nations.
Why would we improve weaponry to fight an enemy that doesn't exist?
We focused on social expansion and colonization technologies, not military. The UNSC/CMA was more of a security force rather then a true military.
The UEG ran the show, really.
No enemy ? Damn sure that minor to moderate conflicts will develop always.
What about all that time before they started to colonize ? I mean there's no reason for the sudden downshift in weapon grade technology, some modern Smg's have a range of 300 meters, like the assault rifle in halo.....
Asault rifles that should usually have a range much greater than that, especially the ones with the bullpulp configuration.
And just because the UEG hadn't encountered much conflict, doesn't mean that they can simply halt the development in weaponary all together.
UEG: "Let's see, we can put funding into terra-forming, colonization, and fixing Earth while making our population able to sustain itself and have enough food. Or we can continue to research and develop new, more powerful weapons that we may never use and would simply be a drain of funds and resources right now."
Umm you seem to assume that there would be a huge drain in the resources, which it wouldn't, a civillization doesn't just stop improving weapons tech just fora matter of colonization.
And then somehow forget and make their weapons inferior to ours.Yet they had all the time to come up with the newer types of assault rifles and weapons, but yet they can't even make weapons on par with their modern counterparts.
