How Plasma Works (Halo Lore)

How do plasma guns work in Halo? Weapons like the Plasma Rifle and Energy Sword are used by the Covenant throughout Halo, but what makes them tick? Today we delve into the science behind Halo's plasma weapons to discover what makes them so lethal, and why they are depicted differently from canon in the Halo games.

The Covenant have implemented plasma in weapons small enough to hold, such as the plasma pistol; to weapons large enough "glass" entire planets. This versatility solidified the Covenant as a strong and terrifying adversary to the UNSC.
