Take the sniper rifle for instance:
If you were to be hit by that thing in real life...
You'd fly to pieces.
Well, a regular human would probably be blown to pieces, as for a Spartan in MJOLNIR armor, their shield would just be drained, and their armor would be gouged and torn up, possibly still alive. 14.5 x114mm round is approximately 2x more powerful as the .50 BMG (depending on powder load and bullet weight), and would be even more damaging because its a sabot round and in the future. The .50 BMG has been known to dismember people by just shooting them..
As for the plasma thing, I've thought about this as well, and just came to the conclusion that it's just for the game effect when it shows blood to show you're hurting someone, even though there would still be a little blood imo just from the wound being so massive, but most of it cauterized. And from what I've read in the books, plasma burns are extremely painful, so I don't think you feel absolutely nothing.
