Butane... compared to covenant weaponry, that is primitive. They can already send heavy amounts of plasma at an enemy with thier Wriath, Ghost, plasma rifles, etc. Plasma burns, it eats away, it is no different then fire. The only reason it is less effective on the flood is because it isnt quite as precise as ballistic weaponry is, and it cant be fired at quite as rapid a rate either.
If you think about it though, the Plasma Sword completely desintagrates a flood. That is because its a large, solid column of plasma, making it intensly hot and would probably boil skin just before it came in contact with anything.
