Most of the existing UNSC weapons (not counting space based or HW) are based on existing weapons from real life. Only one I can think that isn't would be the Spartan Laser and the Gauss Hog.
We have laser weapons, they just eat power like Homer eats donuts.
Same with railgun/coilgun tech. Power hogs, but brutally effective.
And compared to today's military tech, the UNSC SUCKS.
Somebody did an analyses on the UNSC's weaponry involving each fundamental facet of a gun/rifle (such as ammo count, caliber, range, accuracy, etc.), compared them to their modern day U.S. military counter part (MA5 series to the M4 for example) and it was consistantly shown that the UNSC's weapons were supperior. They DID have draw backs, but each time, the number of wins in the UNSC's favor (greater ammo count, caliber, and range, vs greater accuracy and handling as another example) outweighed the modern military's wins.
With each weapon, the UNSC's were judged superior.
