Brutes never used many weapons that other covenant used because they usually didn't recieve training for anything because Sanghelli usually hoarded everything. As a result they used their own weapons such as the brute shot, brute plasma rifle, spiker, and gravity hammer. Notice how until the Sanghelli got removed from the covenant, brutes finally started gaining control of ships, they started using carbines, plasma rifles etcentric.
Can you tell my why the Covenant would allow the Unngoy and Jackals access to the Plasma pistol, but restrict it's use against their best shock troopers?
The matter of the Plasma pistol simply a case of Jiralhenae weapon preference.The Elites didn't really like the Brutes because they saw them as 1. A threat to their power, 2. Too powerful to begin with.
They didn't trust them with good weaponry. They could already fight pretty well on their own, so the Elites gave good guns to the troops that needed them.
